Review from Charlotte F (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very professional, the staff genuinely care about the children and their well being, lots of fun activities and focus on development, very reliable and arranging when possible. Trust them entirely with my children. The nursery is within the countryside so the children can go outside often and walk along the farm tracks, see some chickens.

Review from Joanne F (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My eldest daughter went to a nursery that acted as a chain and although happy with the care the staff provided, it always felt impersonal and lacked flexibility. Bumpkins Day Nursery really is different, for a start every member of the team introduces themselves. They all know and care about my son, even if they are not directly working with him. I found the introduction process during the pandemic to be 'brutal', because it had to be, but the flexible approach taken by Bumpkins meant that I felt supported. The access to an app with pictures and updates was new for me and offered heaps of reassurance. The staff in the office are also brilliant around paperwork queries. The processes are thorough without feeling intrusive. And the most important factor of all, my son loves it, he’s so happy to go. Genuinely, they all care. We’re glad we took the chance and went with a new setting.

Overall Experience

We've had one child go all the way through Bumpkins Day Nursery, and another currently in the pre-school, and it's been a wonderful experience for both of them. The staff are warm and welcoming, and providing a kind and nurturing environment for the children, while encouraging their development across all age ranges. We couldn't be happier with our experience of the nursery and pre-school, and would highly recommend it.

Outstanding nursery, my baby has grown into a clever toddler and he is very happy here and that’s all I could have wished for when returning back to work! He goes in smiling and always comes smiling and his bond with the staff is really lovely too.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Bumpkins Day Nursery enough. I have a son who attends and now my daughter will also be starting in the new year. My son always loves going and leaves excited after a fun day. The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful and very accommodating for each family's routine and needs. Even as high up as the managerial staff, throughout the 2020 COVID madness, they have gone above and beyond to help parents, key workers and keeping the children safe. We love Bumpkins.

Review from S E (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attended Bumpkins from age 1 until she started school this year. She has loved every moment at Bumpkins and developed into a happy and confident little girl. The staff are very caring and take the time to really get to know your child. They help with all stages of development and encourage children to become independent. A lot of time is spent outdoors and connecting with nature.

My daughter made some lovely friends while at Bumpkins and formed strong bonds with the staff too. Bumpkins have definitely given my daughter a great start and her transition to school has been seamless. I would recommend Bumpkins to other parents without hesitation.

Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter had the best time at Bumpkins Day Nursery. From day 1 (at just 6 months) she was welcomed into the close-knit community, cherished and supported. Staff knew her inside out: her idiosyncrasies, her personality, her quirks. They helped her develop into the feisty and happy girl she is today but celebrating her as a unique individual, making everyday fun and providing a range of stimulating and purposeful activities.
During the COVID pandemic, I had some concerns about how we would cope. The nursery listened to my worries, were fair and supportive. When the time came for the lockdown to be lifted and I could see the energy that had been put in place in getting it going again, I sent my daughter back with a huge grin on both our faces!

Thank you Bumpkins for all you have done to help my child over such an important stage in her development.

Both of my children flourished at Bumpkins - all round it was a very nurturing experience from a year old all the way to pre-school. The staff are great at keeping all the children engaged and bringing out the best in them.

Overall Experience

Bumpkins has been a fantastic experience for my daughter. She started 21 months ago at the nursery as a baby who only wanted mummy’s company. Now at preschool, she’s a confident, outgoing, active 3-year-old who loves her days there and talks enthusiastically about nature rangers. The staff are caring and compassionate and put a huge effort into developing the children. My daughter’s vocabulary is superb and her understanding of the natural world is growing quickly. She’s been taught everything from ethics and manners to social skills and compassion. I can’t rate this establishment highly enough. Thank you to the manager and team!

Overall Experience

Since starting mid-February my daughter loves this nursery and the staff have been very welcoming and helped her settle very quickly within her room, management make a huge effort to be involved with the children within the room and not just in the office. She has learned a lot in the short space of time that she has been here. The nursery is very clean in the rooms and across the entrance and garden area. Very happy with the nursery overall.

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Bumpkins as a great day nursery! Have recommended to family and friends. My son has been attending since he was 9 months and Bumpkins made my return to work go smoothly! My son loves attending on his days and has made great bonds with the staff from across the nursery. My son's favourite time of day is being outside and the space that they have for the children is great, my son loves to spend time at nature rangers exploring all things nature, playing in the mud, learning about the outside world and playing with his friends.

Review from Vicky R (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bumpkins is an overall outstanding nursery in our eyes. Both my children have come to Bumpkins, one still in Bumpkins at the moment. Bumpkins provides so many opportunities for the children to thrive. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time through Bumpkins and I truly believe Bumpkins has helped my son prepare for school. The staff are all welcoming and friendly and I feel any information given to the staff regarding my children, is then shared with the whole team thoroughly. The staff promote independence with the children and the children are given a large variety of activities that have so much thought go into them. My daughter loves her time at nursery and has built strong bonds with the staff who look after her. The nursery organises visits from other companies, for example, a mobile farm came to the nursery. My daughter got the opportunity to meet all the animals, learn about them and stroke them. We believe Bumpkins is a great nursery for children and we highly recommend Bumpkins to others.

Review from Marina K (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bumpkins are a great nursery. My son started there 2 years ago at age two and is already fully prepared to start reception. He really enjoys his nursery and is always happy to go there. He made close friendships and speaks very fondly of staff - even those that are not in his group. Staff are wonderful - very kind, attentive and caring. The atmosphere is always very friendly and dynamic. Management are always helpful and responsive. There are always improvements going on - in outdoor space, inside areas and menus. I work full time and was very happy to find a place for my child which can ensure a very safe, comfortable and nurturing environment for 10 hours every day. We will miss Bumpkins when my son goes to school next year!

Overall Experience

Bumpkins Day Nursery are awesome!!! It was an emotional time when I first left my son at 10 month's old at nursery, but everyone at Bumpkins were so lovely and understanding. We had several settling in sessions so we were all comfortable by the time the full days started. My son thoroughly loves his days at Bumpkins! And I feel confident leaving him there. If I want to check on him I can text or call in, and most days I get updates on his development and activities through Eylog. They are a wonderful bunch of people, enthusiastic and genuinely care about what they do. I'd recommend them with a big thumbs up. Thank you Bumpkins!!

Overall Experience

Bumpkins Day Nursery is an amazing service provider of early years care and education. My son loves every minute spent here and is developing amazingly. They are very supportive, incorporating specific focus areas that we have been doing at home and that makes me love this nursery. What other nurseries nearby don't offer is the outdoor space and constant use of interesting learning and play in all environments. Finally the quality of food, both from source and how it is cooked is first class.
