My son has attended since he was 11 months old and Little Pumpkins has been such a supportive and important part of our lives. He's now 2.5 years old, and he enjoys it and learns so much - he's always coming home talking about all his friends and we know the lovely staff are very caring and nurturing. The children have lots of fun, they do cooking and dancing classes, and staff tailor activities towards the children's current interests. The menu is fantastic and the wonderful on-site chef does an amazing job of serving nutritious meals that our son always eats All+ of! We really recommend Little Pumpkins.

Little Pumpkins is the most caring and nurturing nursery. We couldn't be happier with it! The staff are so friendly and go above and beyond to support my son, allowing him to flourish in all areas. It's an excellent learning environment and the children are stimulated with the variety of different activities.

My little boy has been at Little Pumpkins for just over three months now, since he was eleven months old. He absolutely loves it! He has the biggest smile on his face in the morning at drop-off, and it's a testament to the amazing people who work there. The staff are excellent, in particular the member of staff from the Little Teddies room, who always gives us such a thorough update of his day and you can see how much she cares for the children. The manager is fantastic. You can see at pick up/drop off how much she engages with all of the children from the different classes and manages to have a personal connection to them all. She takes the time to talk to you about your child's progress and is great at communicating via the app if needed. We couldn't be happier with our nursery choice, and I know my little boy feels the same! It's a joy to see him so happy there, and the progress he's made since attending is amazing. They teach him so much! Highly recommend.

My son attended this nursery from 1-4yrs and only left this summer, ready to start school. My 20-month-old daughter is currently there (and has been since 10 months old) so we’ve been there through the change in management. The new manager is so approachable, enthusiastic and incredibly friendly. It feels like a new nursery under the new manager's leadership. She goes out of her way to get to know and help families, making it feel so personable - exactly what you want for your childcare setting. The whole team of staff there are always brilliant at drop off, ensuring they welcome the kids each morning with open arms (which makes it so much easier on a stressful commute). My son adored the staff in the preschool room, as well as his previous key workers, and my daughter is always very happy to go in each day. The app, used to update us on our children’s day, is always up to date and provides us with daily photos.

My 17 month old boy joined Little Pumpkins for 4 months. He absolutely loves it! Despite the uncertain situation with covid, he settled in really well. The staff are lovely, they really know him inside out. Frequent communication, and lots of activities for them as well! Looking forward to more outdoor activities when summer comes/restriction lifted. 100% happy parent.

Our son has been going to Little Pumpkins Nursery - South Norwood since he was thirteen months. He has enjoyed his time there while he grew to a social and appreciative little boy. He has bonded well with his key worker and learnt lots of things. He is excited to go back to nursery every Monday and we are reassured that he is very well cared for by all the staff. Due to their excellent management of the Covid-19 pandemic, we also feel that he has not missed out much which has been great, considering all restrictions in other activities. We recommend Little Pumpkins Nursery - South Norwood unreservedly to all parents looking somewhere first-rate for their child.

We have two children at Little Pumpkins - one in the baby room, one in pre-school - who’ve both been there since they were 6 months old. With my eldest, I was full of nerves having her start so young - but the staff have always been incredible; very supportive, calm and encouraging and always sending pictures and telling us what she’d been up to in the day. When my youngest started it was a breeze, and such a relief knowing she was joining her big sister and would be somewhere safe and loved. Sometimes, at pick up in the evening, they seem genuinely annoyed that I’ve come to take them away!

My little boy started at Little Pumpkins Nursery when he turned one. He's now two years four moths and absolutely loves nursery. All of the staff are so lovely, friendly and exceptionally supportive. We are currently potty training! My little boy adores his key worker but loves all members of staff too. They take part in so many exciting activities and do lots of messy play. I was dubious about nursery in the beginning, as I'm sure any parent is when your child is so young but my little boy settled so quickly, easily it was definitely the right choice. We get updates on the app throughout the day providing a real peace of mind. A really lovely nursery, we couldn't be happier.

After viewing several local nurseries I immediately wanted my little girl to go here. On first impressions, the nursery was bright, clean and the staff and children were very friendly. Our daughter has been at Little Pumpkins since she was 10 months old and she's due to graduate from preschool this summer. She absolutely loves going to the nursery to see her friends and loves all the staff she's been with throughout the years. We will be sad to see her leave. The staff are all friendly and approachable and have supported us and her over the years. Helping with everything from potty training to writing her own name or expressing her feelings. We get regular updates and photos of activities and I'm always amazed that they've come up with new creative activities to entertain and educate the children. I have no doubt that our daughter will be more than ready for school this autumn. I'd like to thank all the staff for their continued optimism and hard work over a difficult year.

Our son loves Little Pumpkins Nursery and has made some wonderful friends. His days are filled with fun, silliness, love and learning, the perfect combination. The nursery has a lovely warm feeling that makes everyone feel very welcome. We feel very lucky that he has been able to attend such a lovely nursery.

Our son has been attending Little Pumpkins since he was 10 months old (now just over 2 years). We had initial nerves about him starting nursery as it is our first child, which quickly went! We have absolutely loved dropping him off and seeing him so happy! All of the staff are so friendly and professional, supporting him excellently. We get regular messages and updates from his key worker and room with pictures which we love to look at with him! The managing staff are fantastic, sending regular info and updates which has been especially appreciated during lockdowns and the current time we find ourselves in. We are moving out of London soon and are extremely sad to be leaving Little Pumpkins! We hope to find somewhere that our son enjoys attending so much in our new town! Thank you Little Pumpkins team!

Our son has been attending Little Pumpkins since he was just over 1 year old and he’s now nearly 3. We’ve been so happy with the care he’s received and the thoughtfulness of staff and management. We’ve seen him make good progress even though he’s only part time. Staff have been very reassuring during periods when he’s struggled with drop offs. We’re looking forward to our younger son starting later this year.

Little Pumpkins have been wonderful with our daughter, she had a tough time settling after the first lockdown and they were very supportive and flexible with her needs. Now she runs through the door every day and adores all the staff. They are wonderful at communicating, the app they use is great and the staff are always a pleasure to chat with at pick up and drop off. We would highly recommend them as a nursery.

This nursery is so great! We viewed a few nurseries when looking for our daughter and got the best feeling from walking around this one by far - all of the kids seemed so happy! She has now been there for nearly a year and absolutely loves it! She doesn’t even look back to us in the mornings - just waltzes straight in and has an awesome time! All of the staff are great and all seem to know your child’s name (even if from a different class). Also - our daughter has developed so much since attending. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

A really good nursery, happy, reliable, trustworthy staff, who send you updates during the day about your child and room your child is in (with photos sometimes included). Very professional, highly recommend this nursery!

We’ve been sending our daughter to Little Pumpkins since she was 5 months old (she’s now 2). The manager and the team have been fantastic - from those early settling in days and providing reassurance as our baby turned into a toddler. The range of activities and learning they do is incredible and the regular updates through the app are great to receive. We’re so pleased we chose Little Pumpkins. They really do care and have provided an excellent foundation for our daughter who is a well balanced, happy little girl. Thank you.

Having moved to the area a year ago, I was looking for a good nursery for my 2-year-old daughter to join. It was a difficult task as she was in her previous nursery from the age of 3 months and loved it. I came across Little Pumpkins and decided to give it a go. I was very nervous and felt that maybe my daughter will not settle in easily. I expressed this to the manager and she reassured me that my daughter will be fine. She started in July 2020 and took her a week to settle in and now she loves being at nursery. She loves members of staff and comes back home very excited to tell me about her day. She is always happy and looking forward to all the activities they do. I love the fact that the nursery is always doing something for the children from Halloween, Christmas, Chinese New Year, Valentines etc. Whenever the nursery shares pictures with us we see how happy the children are and engaged in the activities.

Our daughter loves Little Pumpkins and we have been really pleased with the care and attention she gets. She’s developed so much since starting and it’s great that the nursery communicates what she’s learnt. The food is varied and the outside space is nice. Overall, a well-kept nursery with staff who care.

Both of my daughters have attended Little Pumpkins, one of them currently. The staff are fabulous, friendly and professional. They are also accommodating. Their Covid measures are great and are working well. I have always felt more than happy and comfortable leaving my girls at this nursery. My girls have always been very well cared for. They have home cooked meals too, my youngest loves all the food at the nursery. My eldest whom is extremely fussy (no sauces and plain food) the nursery really assisted me in accommodating for this, by the end of pre-school she was actually trying food which was huge for her! The educational side of the nursery is fantastic too. Since starting here my youngest has really advanced and has definitely given my eldest a head start for school. Even learning French! If you want a good start in education in a safe, reliable and caring environment, this is the nursery for you.

Little Pumpkins is an excellent nursery. My daughter attended from 11 months and is now in pre-school. We are so happy with the way her development has been encouraged and how much she enjoys her time in nursery. The team work so hard and the covid response has been brilliant. Highly recommended.
