Pumpkin Patch Nursery Hove

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a few months now in the baby room and we're really pleased we chose Pumpkin Patch Nursery as her nursery. As far as we can tell she is well cared for and supported by the team (she's taken a while to settle in). She's been doing some great activities and

recently been out in the garden and to the beach.
Only marked the outside space down slightly as the garden is on the smaller side compared to some that we saw.
We've not got any other experience to measure it against but we're happy we chose Pumpkin Patch.

Reply from Kim Northrop, Nursery manager at Pumpkin Patch Nursery Hove

Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We are so pleased to see 'R' thriving in her development and beginning to make bonds with her peers. We look forward to watching her continue to grow over the coming year.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Pumpkin Patch in Hove for around 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier.
He always comes out with a smile on his face and is more than happy to go in every morning thanks to the friendly welcome he always receives.
The staff are lovely and so personable. They always have a smile,

they give us a great detailed review of his day, and are more than willing to accommodate any changes in his needs, such as a change in dietary requirements etc.
Receiving updates through the app really makes my day. It’s so detailed and great to know what he’s been up to and how well he’s slept and eaten etc. The photos and videos they send us are so so appreciated and give us a great look at what he’s getting up to. For them to take the time to take the videos and send them over is just amazing. Getting to see him interacting with the other kids and in a new environment is just brilliant.
Overall we are so happy with the nursery and couldn’t fault anything.

Overall Experience

We cannot recommend Pumpkin Patch highly enough. Our daughter has been attending for over two years now, joining the baby’s room and will shortly move to the setting in the park.
What I like most about Pumpkin Patch is their on-site chef and online system has not disappointed! Our daughter eats better

than us and has the most fantastic relationship with food.
Every morning, our daughter runs through the door, excited to see what provocations have been set up for the day. I’m thrilled to have all her curiosities nurtured and encouraged. We feel very lucky to have a daughter at Pumpkin Patch, where she has formed lovely relationships with friends and grown-ups.

Our kids love Pumpkin Patch, the activities and art that they do during the day are amazing and they come back filled with ideas and something new every day.
They eat well there and also the forest school looks great too.

Overall Experience

Pumpkin Patch Brighton has been (and continues to be) a brilliant second home for our children. Excellent care and frequent updates allow us to see how the boys are doing. We love the family feel that encourages siblings to see each other during the day while ensuring that they are both doing age-appropriate

activities etc. our older boy has loved forest school from the moment he was allowed to go. I have no doubt that his adventure-loving little brother will follow suit in due course. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your review. Both your children are a pleasure to care for.

Overall Experience

Both of our children have gone to Pumpkin Patch, covering the period from 2016 to 2023. They have both had wonderful experiences with caring, qualified and engaged staff. They’ve been supported in their own learning interests, and given lots of opportunities to explore both new and preferred topics

and games. The garden is wonderful and the kids love playing there. Management knows the children and parents and is both caring and professional. I would absolutely recommend pumpkin patch.

Overall Experience

Pumpkin Patch Nursery Brighton is an incredible early years setting where children are nurtured in an enriching environment. Both my children went to Pumpkin Patch, both very different, and both have thrived. The staff are so attuned to the children and really care about their well-being. We loved the

Reggio Emilia ethos and the garden space, forest school and the atelier. I thoroughly recommend the Pumpkin Patch.

I have nothing but kind words and praise for Pumpkin Patch. They offer such an incredible service from learning to play, wide selection of food as well as being supportive and friendly. All the staff have such a positive impact on my son’s life and we’re so happy with everything they do and provide

for him. He’s encouraged to be himself and his confidence has grown enormously. Incredible facilities for both babies and preschool. Thank you for all that you do!

Overall Experience

Pumpkin Patch really is an outstanding nursery. We cannot fault it! The staff are so caring, enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgable about every child. Our toddler loves going to nursery and always comes out with a big smile on his face. The staff go above and beyond with the activities they set out

for the children and to make sure they meet their interests. My son was quite late to walk, talk etc and the nursery have been such a huge support with helping him catch up and giving him such confidence. The communication is excellent. You always find out face to face what they’ve been up to as well as photos almost daily showing what fun they’ve been having.
It is such a creative, fun, nurturing environment with so many learning opportunities. An added bonus is that everything is newly refurbished and it’s such a lovely environment inside and out.
They also offer 7am starts which was the earliest I could find in Hove nurseries.
We couldn’t be happier with this nursery!

Overall Experience

First word for this place is wonderful!
They don’t only support the children’s development and education but also support the parents who’s working a long time. Both of my two children went here. When my first one was attending, I was working in the retail industry and the working hours were all over

the place. They really understood and supported my circumstances and because of that, I could carry on working. All of my children were looked after very well and their development in arts, literacy, motor skills, social skills and so improved positively over the period. Love the app they communicate with parents and the pictures they share on there. Overall communication is always the best! We will miss Pumpkin Patch!

Fantastic nursery, wonderful, caring staff, lots of learning and so much fun.
Our son has been at Pumpkin Patch since he was 9 months old and every time I pick him up I can tell how happy he is and what a great day he has had. He constantly talks about the brilliant staff and comes home telling me

new things he’s done and learnt. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery. Thank you.

I cannot express how happy we are with our choice to send our children to Pumpkin Patch. The nursery staff are all friendly, welcoming and encouraging with the children, really focused on engaging with their interests and supporting them in areas they struggle with if needed (in collaboration with parents).

They provide regular updates and keep an excellent level of communication with parents. The nursery space is fantastic, and there is a dedicated atelier for art projects and to inspire curiosity.

We love this nursery! It's been brilliant for our daughter who joined when she turned 1, she's now turning 3. She's so confident and active, she really thrives there.
The staff are super friendly and caring and we've been impressed with their communication and the use of the parent app. The outdoor

space is particularly great, so much to explore and get involved in, always busy learning and playing. They also do forest school which our daughter loves.
Overall, really happy this is where she spends her time and couldn't recommend it highly enough!
