The staff did everything they could to develop her English, which has now become her dominant language as she is bilingual.\n\nThe nursery’s program is exceptional. It is an outdoor-focused nursery where children explore freely, safely, and under adult supervision. They enjoyed many walks to the Pumpkin Patch, Forest School, and playground, as well as story times. Activities were varied and engaging, encouraging sensory experiences and all kinds of development.\n\nThe results we see in our daughter speak for themselves.

The nursery prioritises giving every child the best start in life, fostering an atmosphere where each individual is valued and supported to achieve their full potential. With a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, children are encouraged to explore and interact with diverse natural settings, promoting healthy habits and an early love for discovery. The nursery operates 51 weeks a year, catering to children aged 6 months to 5 years, and includes home-cooked nutritious meals. Their highly qualified and experienced team of Early Years Practitioners are committed to delivering outstanding care in a stimulating atmosphere. The facility itself, once an old social club, was transformed in 2023 into a bright, open, and welcoming space allowing children of all ages to play and interact. Country Pumpkins also proudly accepts various government funding schemes and tax-free childcare options. Our ethos Our nursery is built on a foundation of LOVE and we are particularly proud of our open plan spaces where children can explore the whole of the nursery and make relationships across the age ranges. Our curriculum goals are what we intend for our children to achieve during their time with us. We believe these goals are fundamental in providing the foundations for children to continue to thrive beyond their time at nursery, as they find their place in the wider world. We achieve these goals through providing safety, security, warmth and love and from this secure base children can: LOVE themselves LOVE themselves – through developing a strong sense of self-worth, being proud of their achievements and learning to recognise and regulate their emotions. LOVE each other LOVE each other – through building friendships, respecting differences, and caring for others both at nursery and in their wider community. LOVE their environment LOVE their environment – through developing sustainable and healthy habits at a young age, respecting both their physical and natural surroundings, and challenging practices that may be harmful to the environment. What it's like All children thrive at this nurturing nursery. Staff provide a calm, stimulating environment, where all children gain high levels of confidence and independence. Staff prioritise children's emotional well-being in order for them to be physically ready to learn and make the best possible progress.
