My two children have both attended Pumpkin Patch on Preston Drove. My eldest from 3 and my middle from 18 months. My youngest will be joining in September at 10 months. We've experienced all the stages from the baby room (Poppets) right through to the Kindergarten. All stages have been excellent with fantastic opportunities such as watching chicks hatch and collecting eggs once they're fully grown to yoga, music classes, Spanish and forest school. They even have a dedicated Ateiler. The outside space is excellent- the best I've seen in the area (and we visited lots!) and perfect for busy 2 year olds who can't stay still! Kindergarten really prepares them for reception as they work on all areas linking to the reception curriculum but also do a lot of work getting the children emotionally prepared with strong links to most of the primary schools and regular visits. Meals are fresh and varied and the staff always have time to answer questions. I love the parent online diaries so I can see what they're up to whilst I'm at work. Anita and the team are very flexible with hours as well and always try to accommodate any last minute changes you have (they were even on standby to have my son whilst I was expecting to go into labour with my 3rd!) Would definitely recommended to other parents.
