Overall Experience
Fantastic experience since my daughter started in October 2025. She absolutely loves going nursery. Myself and my husband are confident in their care and know that she will be looked after and especially important, eat well, whilst she's there

Love how they also have other groups who go in such as Little Kickers, Hartbeeps and Yoga.

We are so delighted with the care from all of the nursery staff. The level of attention to both children and parents is wonderful. Both of our kids have a wonderful time at nursery.
They have recently renovated the garden and it's a great space!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a few months now in the baby room and we're really pleased we chose Pumpkin Patch Nursery as her nursery. As far as we can tell she is well cared for and supported by the team (she's taken a while to settle in). She's been doing some great activities and recently been out in the garden and to the beach.
Only marked the outside space down slightly as the garden is on the smaller side compared to some that we saw.

We've not got any other experience to measure it against but we're happy we chose Pumpkin Patch.

Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We are so pleased to see 'R' thriving in her development and beginning to make bonds with her peers. We look forward to watching her continue to grow over the coming year.

Overall Experience
Our kids love Pumpkin Patch, the activities and art that they do during the day are amazing and they come back filled with ideas and something new every day.
They eat well there and also the forest school looks great too.

What I like most about Pumpkin Patch is their on-site chef and online system has not disappointed! Our daughter eats better than us and has the most fantastic relationship with food.

Every morning, our daughter runs through the door, excited to see what provocations have been set up for the day. I’m thrilled to have all her curiosities nurtured and encouraged. We feel very lucky to have a daughter at Pumpkin Patch, where she has formed lovely relationships with friends and grown-ups.

My son has been at Pumpkin Patch in Hove for around 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier.
He always comes out with a smile on his face and is more than happy to go in every morning thanks to the friendly welcome he always receives.
The staff are lovely and so personable. They always have a smile, they give us a great detailed review of his day, and are more than willing to accommodate any changes in his needs, such as a change in dietary requirements etc.
Receiving updates through the app really makes my day. It’s so detailed and great to know what he’s been up to and how well he’s slept and eaten etc. The photos and videos they send us are so so appreciated and give us a great look at what he’s getting up to. For them to take the time to take the videos and send them over is just amazing. Getting to see him interacting with the other kids and in a new environment is just brilliant.

Pumpkin Patch really is an outstanding nursery. We cannot fault it! The staff are so caring, enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgable about every child. Our toddler loves going to nursery and always comes out with a big smile on his face. The staff go above and beyond with the activities they set out for the children and to make sure they meet their interests. My son was quite late to walk, talk etc and the nursery have been such a huge support with helping him catch up and giving him such confidence. The communication is excellent. You always find out face to face what they’ve been up to as well as photos almost daily showing what fun they’ve been having.
It is such a creative, fun, nurturing environment with so many learning opportunities. An added bonus is that everything is newly refurbished and it’s such a lovely environment inside and out.
They also offer 7am starts which was the earliest I could find in Hove nurseries.

First word for this place is wonderful!
They don’t only support the children’s development and education but also support the parents who’s working a long time. Both of my two children went here. When my first one was attending, I was working in the retail industry and the working hours were all over the place. They really understood and supported my circumstances and because of that, I could carry on working. All of my children were looked after very well and their development in arts, literacy, motor skills, social skills and so improved positively over the period. Love the app they communicate with parents and the pictures they share on there. Overall communication is always the best! We will miss Pumpkin Patch!

I cannot express how happy we are with our choice to send our children to Pumpkin Patch. The nursery staff are all friendly, welcoming and encouraging with the children, really focused on engaging with their interests and supporting them in areas they struggle with if needed (in collaboration with parents). They provide regular updates and keep an excellent level of communication with parents. The nursery space is fantastic, and there is a dedicated atelier for art projects and to inspire curiosity.

Overall Experience
My daughter loves it here. I brought her here from another nursery 6 months ago and she settled in brilliantly. She's always talking about her day and what she's done and how she thoroughly enjoys it.
The staff are really nice and friendly too. My daughter always talks about them as well.
