My daughter has been at the Little Pumpkins Nursery for the last two years. She has become a bubbly, happy, excited little girl. She comes out happy, telling us about her day and new things she has learned.

My 4yo son has been attending Little Pumpkins for over a year and he simply loves it. I can tell he feels safe and confident when he's there and I saw how his creativity and speech articulation have been improving since joining the nursery.
The staff are amazing, dedicated and always attentive to the
needs of the children. The facilities are clean and adequate (I am always impressed by the level of tidying and cleanliness for a nursery when I enter for parent events).
I absolutely recommend Little Pumpkins.

This is a lovely small nursery with some very caring and able staff. It’s comparable in price to other local nurseries and I have confidence my children are being well cared for and stimulated while they are there. Communication is also great.

We absolutely recommend Little Pumpkins - Lee. Our daughter thrived in that setting and the care she received was phenomenal. Staff members truly care and have excellent open communication with parents and carers. We will miss them.

A great nursery. Staff care deeply about the children and give them the chance to grow and develop without being overbearing. A good mix of activities and outside time. And great food (what he’ll eat there instead of home is another story!).

100% recommend Little Pumpkins Lee. Two of my children have been attending since September and Im incredibly impressed with how quickly they settled, the bonds theyve formed with all staff, the variety of activities but most importantly, how much theyve blossomed individually.

Amazing staff, our son was very shy at first, but to our surprise, it took him less than 4 weeks to settle in (only three days a week at that time). The progress that he made is evident and we are very happy with the loving care that he is receiving. We get regular updates on his activities, and the
nursery has weekly surprises and fun pass times for the children. Our son's English is now becoming clearer than his native language and this is one more important acquisition since he started nursery. The meals are cooked on site, and he seems to be having more appetite there than at home. We highly recommend this nursery, with its skilled and lovely staff.

We can’t recommend this nursery enough, we’re so happy with every aspect and our daughter loves being there. All the staff are amazing and so friendly, the care they give to every child is outstanding. Our daughter has been here for 6 months and has developed so well. The communication between the staff
and families is great, the app is very helpful and informative. Can’t thank the staff enough for all they do.

It’s been a year since our daughter joined Little Pumpkins Nursery - Lee and I cannot explain how happy she is there. All staff members are kind, positive and always put our babies first with great care. Communication with the management team is great, all teachers use the family app to notify about
your kid's progression and everyday activities on a daily basis. An amazing small nursery where babies can feel like they are at home.

My child has been attending the nursery since 2018 and he has always been extremely happy there and is always telling how much he enjoys it. Everyone there is very friendly and the development that the children get is great.

My little girl joined Little Pumpkins in August 2020, after being home with her for 19 months and not having her with anyone else bar me, I was very nervous on leaving her but she has thrived and grown. It’s been amazing to see and I feel completely happy leaving her in the staffs care. They are such
happy and fabulous staff, so full of fun and enthusiasm even at the end of the day! They have such great arts and games they put on for them. My 20 month old says 'going to nursery to see (the manager) and the kids!' She loves it there and never does not want to go. And the Famly app they use, with daily activity updates and pictures, is great. It’s been difficult in this pandemic as we can’t talk too much in the handovers etc but they have done a great job handling the situation. Definitely recommend this lovely nursery.

Amazing nursery with the most understanding and happy staff. They ensured that my shy little girl is given an equal amount of attention as others. I have seen such positive changes in her, and that it makes me happy from within. I would highly recommend the team at the nursery for helping me mould my
baby into a confident toddler.

My daughter has been with Little Pumpkins Nursery full time for over 2 years now and she has thrived very well and loves it. The nursery has had its ups and downs over the time we have been with them but the improvements they have made are definitely noticeable. Most of the staff are wonderful and
you can really see the care that they put in with every child.

I was very critical when choosing a nursery for my daughter visiting many and Little Pumpkins ticked all the boxes. The staff are very diligent and always have a smile on their faces.
Also, my daughter used to be a fussy eater since starting nursery she has enjoyed all the yummy meals the in house
chef has cooked and with the help and encouragement of her carers, she now eats chicken and salmon with no issues.

My daughter has been attending for over 2 years and is now in the pumpkins room. She has generally been extremely happy. There have been ups and downs with management but it now seems stable and we are happy with improvements that have been made. Standard of care has been good, lots of activities put
on for them, great teaching, nice outside space and friendly staff.
My second daughter has just joined the baby room and settling in has been fantastic. Staff have been lovely and she is settling in really well.
Communication is good and overall would recommend.

My children have been attending Little Pumpkins since they were 5 months old and they love it there. The manager has been there since May 2018 having come from the sister nursery. The manager and her team clearly love the children and listen to the children's needs. I have never had either child cry
that they don't want to go to nursery and are always happy when they see the staff - my little girl genuinely bounces each morning and my little boy prefers his key worker to me! We get daily updates from their app, Parent, which keeps us updated on what they're doing and we get pictures too. This is supplemented by a nightly email of their day and a handover de-brief when we pick them up.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.161)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.161) out of 10 for Little Pumpkins Nursery - Lee is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.847 for Little Pumpkins Nursery - Lee is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.847

  • b) 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 4.314 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pumpkins Nursery - Lee is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.6

    • ii) 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.714

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
