Partou Bumpkins Day Nursery & Pre-School holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating (July 2023) and is set in the beautiful rural village of Whaddon, serving families across Royston, Bassingbourn, Meldreth and the surrounding Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire border. The nursery operates across two sites within the village, with babies and two year olds at Bridge Street and pre-school children a short walk away on Meldreth Road, both with parking available.
Two separate sites mean each age group benefits from an environment designed specifically for their stage of development, from calm, nurturing spaces for the youngest children through to a self-contained pre-school focused on building the confidence and independence needed for school.
The standout feature is Nature Rangers, the nursery's forest school, which was shortlisted for Outdoor Learning Environment of the Year at the 2024 National NMT Nursery Awards. Pre-school children have free-flow access throughout the day to a space that includes a cabin classroom, sandpit, firepit area, mud kitchen, bug houses, herb garden, mud mound, obstacle course and bird lookout house. Covering all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, it gives children daily opportunities to explore, take managed risks and develop physically, socially and emotionally.
The nursery chef has been with Partou Bumpkins for ten years, producing healthy, nutritious meals freshly prepared on site from a seasonal rolling menu. Mealtimes are treated as an important social experience and part of the early years day.
Ofsted praised the leadership's clear vision and strong parent communication, and families regularly speak about the progress children make in speech, confidence and independence during their time here.
If you are looking for a nursery near Royston with an Outstanding Ofsted rating and exceptional outdoor learning, Partou Bumpkins Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

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.

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!
Really pleased that we chose to send our child to Bumpkins Day Nursery. The staff are really friendly and my daughter seems very settled. We also get updates throughout the day on what activities she has been doing which is lovely.

Just put the last of our 3 children through Bumpkins. They were fantastic for all 3. All of the staff are wonderfully professional and caring and the management were always prompt in their responses.

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!!

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.
Our daughter has been at Bumpkins for 18 months and has a lovely time there. She is leaving soon to start nursery at primary school. She is ready for the transition but we will miss Bumpkins.

Our daughter has been at Bumpkins for 18 months and has a lovely time there. She is leaving soon to start nursery at primary school. She is ready for the transition but we will miss Bumpkins. The staff are friendly and very kind. It is difficult to leave your baby when you return to work but I was sure she was being looked after well and entertained all day.
Our daughter is lively, talkative and confident. She has learnt a lot at Bumpkins. Even when I collect late in the day, she is happy / busy playing. Often dressed as a princess or happy with a puzzle.
I will continue to recommend Bumpkins. It is a bit expensive but I really believe you get what you pay for!

Bumpkins is an amazing nursery. We are so pleased our daughter has had her last two years here. We put her in at just over a year and she has really thrived. What makes Bumpkins stand out is the staff. They are so committed and are clearly a strong team, reliable and skilled. Staff stay with Bumpkins for long periods which we felt was important for continuity. They have been dedicated to our daughter's development and also provide warm and nurturing relationships with the children so they feel secure and safe. It has lovely food, great outdoor space and location and creative activities each day. I would recommend it to anyone.
