Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Pump House Nursery in September and after coming from a really bad experience at another nursery, we were quite anxious. From the first day, Pump House has been incredible with him. It took some time for him to settle, but the team put in so much effort. They even extended his settling
in period and really considered our needs throughout.
Even though the nursery manager changed just as we were joining, Lyn has been absolutely wonderful. She listens to every comment we make, takes action when needed, and keeps communication clear and supportive. The management team as a whole has been very helpful.
The nursery itself has a lovely garden and indoor space which my son adores because he loves running around and exploring. They also take the children out regularly to see the ducks and visit pets at home which is such a thoughtful touch. The staff in the baby room are genuinely caring and loving and it shows in how happy and comfortable my son is there.

Our little boy has been at Pump House for about six months now. The staff are just brilliant with the little ones - warm and caring, and the whole place has a really relaxed, cosy feel to it.
It's also been amazing to watch how much he's come on with his development since starting. But the main thing
for us is that he's just so happy to be there. He goes in with a big smile every morning and he's just as cheerful when we pick him up at the end of the day, which really says it all.
The building itself is a big plus too - it's modern, clean and a really beautiful space for the kids. We honestly can't recommend the team and the nursery enough.

Overall were very happy with the nursery. Our son started in baby room and now he's in pre-school room.
All staff are kind and very helpful. They always inform if any issues or changes happen at the nursery.
The application which they use is very helpful, always updated with latest information.

My daughter joined The Pump House Nursery in January 2023. Throughout her time there, the entire team has gone above and beyond in providing exceptional care, attention, and love. In 2023, my daughter was diagnosed with ASD, and the support she received from the nursery exceeded all of my expectations.
The teachers worked tirelessly to ensure that her needs were met, showing a level of care and dedication that I will always be grateful for. I've worked closely with the team on her EHCP, and the process was handled with such professionalism and care, making me feel reassured every step of the way. The growth I've seen in my daughter-from her confidence to her communication skills-has been nothing short of remarkable. The communication between myself and the nursery has been seamless, and the support we both received has been unparalleled. I couldn't recommend the Nursery enough. They are a fabulous team and I am forever grateful for the incredible difference they've made in her life.

Our daughter has been going to the Pump House in Brentford since January and we can't be happier.
She is very well looked after, every time we go to pick her up you can tell that the children are happy.
All the staff is superb, super caring for the children and very supportive with their growth.
Another
plus point for us was that the nursery is very open to parents and there is great communication between nursery and family.
Last but not least, they have a proper kitchen in house, and they have a lovely lady Chef who cooks delicious meals from scratch for the kids which my daughter really enjoys.
We highly recommend The pump house day nursery.

All of the staff at Pump House are lovely, kind, nurturing and take time to get to know my little one on a personal level. They make a conscious effort to give daily updates that help us to loop into our babies day. They give regular feedback on progress and work with us to ensure milestones are met.
My little one is excited to attend every day and it's helped eased my mind sending her into the nursery. She loves all of the food that is made and has developed so much since attending! Thank you.

My boys have been attending this nursery since 1 and it has been an absolute pleasure. They have grown and flourished in this environment and have become independent little boys who are taking their next journey to school.
The environment is amazing and the teachers are friendly and supportive of
each child.
The boys will miss them all when they start school in September.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 1 year old and is now thriving in the toddler room. Under the current nursery manager's leadership, there have been remarkable positive changes that have greatly enhanced the nursery experience.
One of the highlights for us has been the weekly football
and Spanish sessions. These sessions have added so much value to my child's week, providing both physical activity and exposure to a new language in a fun and engaging way.
Overall, we are delighted with our nursery experience and would highly recommend it to other parents looking for a nurturing environment with enriching activities.

I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with The Pump House. From the moment we first visited, we were impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the caring, attentive staff. The classrooms are bright, cheerful, and filled with a variety of engaging, age-appropriate activities that stimulate
the children's curiosity and learning.
The teachers at The Pump House are exceptional. They are not only highly qualified but also genuinely passionate about early childhood education. They take the time to understand each child's unique needs and interests, fostering an environment where every child feels valued and supported.
Overall, The Pump House has exceeded our expectations in every way. It is a nurturing and inspiring place where children are encouraged to grow and thrive. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a top-quality early childhood education for their little one.

Our daughter has been attending the Pump House Day Nursery (baby room) since she was only 3 months old, and we have been so impressed with how quickly she settled in. She has developed very strong bonds with her key worker as well as with other lovely staff in the baby's room. She always seems so happy
to go in the morning! She has also become a really sociable child, and we love to see the regular baby's room updates throughout the week and detailed development updates about her every month. We cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful nursery!

My twins have been attending this nursery since they turned two in September, and they love going here. The teachers help them settle in so well. After one of my twins would still cry when being dropped off after four weeks, he now runs in and leads me out the door! Before they went here, one of them
wouldn't speak, and within four weeks he was speaking and every day they are both learning more and more. They have a chef that makes a variety of food with a new menu posted, and a handy app where they upload everything in real-time from nappy change, to how much they ate, and nap times and can message directly to the teachers in their room if needed. Highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.325)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.325) out of 10 for The Pump House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.727 for The Pump House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.727
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.598 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Pump House Day Nursery is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.598
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
