My son is about to turn 4 and has been going to the nursery since he was 1. Each group has wonderful staff that seem to really care for the children. He has developed in all areas, mainly his speech, which staff members at the nursery specifically help him with. He always has a smile on his face when
he comes out. The app they use is great, we enjoy seeing the photos of what he has been doing.
Our next child will be attending the nursery in the new year.

My children have been at this nursery since 2019, all through covid and will be until they’re all at school. I literally cannot say enough good about it.
Although not visible from the front, the level of equipment is absolutely fabulous. The level of resources, knowledge and experience is unparalleled.
My
children are so cared for and so loved in this safe, family setting. They have built so much confidence and happiness in the kids. And every family we know thinks the same. They’re also incredibly supportive of our family and any issues we might have.

My daughter loves attending Pumpkin Patch. At pick-up time she comes out beaming and chattering about all the activities she has been up to through the day. She loves the staff there who have supported her to really come out of her shell since she started in 2021. I feel Pumpkin Patch was definitely
the right fit for us as the staff provides such a nurturing environment and encourages the children to follow their own interests.

We moved our son to Pumpkin Patch Nursery from another nursery over a year ago now, and it was the best decision we've made. Since being there, he's been so happy.
They follow the children's interests, and this makes them so excited to come in and play.
The communication is excellent, and everyone
is really approachable.
Our son does forest school every two weeks and loves going out on the forest school bus with his friends; he gets so excited about it.
I also love that it's child-led, and they choose to be inside or outside when they want to.
The food is great - our son talks a lot about chatting with the chef.
I 100% recommend Pumpkin Patch and trust them absolutely with our son's care!

I moved my child from a different nursery in Worthing due to poor communication and am so pleased I did. Pumpkin Patch Worthing is an amazing nursery where children thrive. I currently have two children there and they couldn't be happier. The communication is excellent and I am always well-informed
of what they've been up to with pictures and info uploaded of the app. My eldest does forest school there fortnightly which is an amazing experience for her and she can't wait to tell me all about it when she gets home. I'll be sad when she has to leave to start school. Would thoroughly recommended this nursery.

We have been with Pumpkin Patch for 5 years now and have been absolutely astounded with the care, compassion and professionalism from every member of staff. We have sent both of our children to Pumpkin Patch who have had the same individual, personable experiences. The staff treat every child as if
they are their own which is abundantly obvious at pick up with the smile on their faces and spring in their step! The staff genuinely love your child which makes us all feel very special and cared for as a family. We are so very grateful to have found Pumpkin Patch which has given both our boys the very best start in life. We’ve watched them grow in confidence and make some amazing friends, some of which we are still in touch with and will hopefully be in their lives forever! To sum up Pumpkin Patch with a few keywords (because I could go on forever!); Amazing, Inspirational, Attentive, Professional, Personable, Compassionate, Caring, Magical, Diligent - a home from home.

I couldn't praise Pumpkin Patch Nursery and the staff more. Our son has been going three days a week since he was 1 (now just over 2) and his development and enjoyment that he gets out of going every day is wonderful to watch after a tough initial period of settling in - the staff were great throughout
keeping us posted and regularly touching base with us to discuss how to help him settle in. He clearly loves going and now runs in at drop-off, and regularly talks about his friends and the staff when he's at home. They're great at keeping us updated with how he's doing, both during the day and at pick-up, as well as working on his longer-term development. He is hypermobile and therefore took longer to walk than some other children of his age which the nursery were great at helping him find his confidence with and catch up, moving him to the toddler room early to give him more chances to run around and practice.

Pumpkin Patch Nursery is a wonderful and nurturing childcare setting. My boys started shortly after their 3rd birthday having never attended a nursery before. I was worried how they would cope with the transition as they are both sensitive and had always found separation from me difficult but the staff
were so lovely. They were flexible about how their settles were managed, kept me up to date during the day and helpfully ensured the staff member who they had formed a close relationship with came to the door every morning which really helped with separation while they were settling.
We have seen them both thrive at Pumpkin Patch. Their key worker has made the effort to get to know them and support their emotional and social development. She has worked really hard putting into place strategies that has really helped one of my boys who was needing help with his confidence.
The boys have made lovely friends and always come home tired, muddy from all the fun in the garden and very happy.

The team have been wonderful in supporting my daughter and providing a safe, nurturing, fun and educational environment. My child was quite shy, and the team built a connection with her, helping her build confidence and come out of her shell. She genuinely loves going to Pumpkin Patch Nursery and speaks
very fondly of the educators.
A great place, with a fantastic team, who I trust and love working with my child.

Our son has been at this nursery for 10 months and during this time his speech has developed loads. He loves the outdoor space and as parents, we are truly impressed by the facilities e.g. outdoor classroom, atelier, forest and beach school and large airy classrooms with lots of different learning corners
to engage and inspire children. The children are supported in their learning with amazing and unusual activities and communication with parents is constant and prompt through the parnet app. We are very happy with the educators and the management who show understanding and passion. We are also impressed by the training opportunities for staff development including trips to Iceland and Italy to shadow and train in foreign settings. We are not surprised Pumpkin Patch Nursery have opened another branch due to their success - they work hard for it and deserve it. Educators are super helpful and seem happy in their jobs. We love this nursery.

This is a fantastic nursery with staff who genuinely care about the children as well as their development. The internal and external spaces are well put together, giving the children the ability to explore, learn and grow. Every day there are new activities and they amend them to the interests of the
children.
The food sounds delicious and they are fantastic with dietary needs. My daughter eats more here than at home.
They use an app to keep you up to date with your child, what is happening in the nursery and activities of the day.
It is a fantastic nursery.

We couldn’t be happier with Pumpkin Patch Nursery! Our daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly two years and she loves it. The staff work hard with the children, to nurture and support their development. Activities are created based on the interests and ideas of the children, allowing them
to see their own concepts evolve. They also communicate well with us parents too, always responding to our messages and keeping us up to date with their progress. Considering we had to find a nursery during lockdown, I feel very lucky to have picked Pumpkin Patch!

I honestly feel blessed that we have this nursery so close to our home.
The staff at the nursery are amazing and that shows when I drop off my daughter, she goes in with open arms and no fuss. In fact, she asks to go to nursery on days she isn’t in!
The staff are extremely proactive in giving regular
updates on my daughter through the parent app which is so appreciated and something I know other parents do not get at other Nurseries.
I cannot recommend them enough, I feel my daughter is richer in her development and they make our family feel comfortable every time we drop her off.

Our eldest spent two years at Pumpkin Patch (St Botolphs) and loved it - he still wants to come and see the staff sometimes when we pick up our youngest child, who is also loving the staff, activities, toys and overall setting. We've not had any issues with either of them and they've always had a nice
day - so can only give very good feedback and a recommendation.

I’ve been delighted with this setting from day one, the communication between nursery and parent has always been fantastic. The app is incredibly useful and it really helps keep in the loop with what my little one has been up to and offers a really convenient way to reach members of the team with any
questions or requests. The activities they provide are always evolving and there are plenty of hands-on fun, creative activities both indoors and outdoors. My daughter has built really strong relationships with members of the staff and I’m never in any doubt that she’s in very caring hands while she is there. Should she ever have a rare unsettled drop off the staff always make extra effort to let me know once she’s settled and what she’s up to. She leaves her sessions at Pumpkin Patch with a big smile on her face which is testament to the work of the wonderful people that make Pumpkin Patch such a lovely nursery.
