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.

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.

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!

Excellent nursery, with kind and caring staff.
My 18-month-old son loves it there.
His development has come on in leaps and bounds since attending.
They also have a forest school and a big garden which the children go in every day.

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!

The perfect place. On weekends, our girl speaks a lot about her much-missed friends and she just can't wait for Monday in preschool! A lovely mix of activities, so that interests emerge and are developed. Great friendships between the children develop.

Pumpkin Patch is a wonderful nursery, both our children and thrived there. They loved the outdoor adventures and the staff are fantastic and give you detailed handovers at the end of each session. The parent app keeps you up to date on how they are getting in too which is handy.

There is always such a variety of tasks for the children to do. Lots of care is taken to encourage relationships between peers. I am always confident each day will be full of activity, creativity and fun when dropping off my daughter.

Pumpkin Patch is a truly special place - I have two children there 4/5 days a week and I couldn’t be happier with the care and support they are receiving: dedicated, kind and knowledgable staff/brilliant facilities and such a great child-led approach. I feel very lucky - our kids are so happy there.

The care and individual attention of staff for our child has been excellent. We really appreciate the staff allowing them to choose from the various activities set up each day - either in their spacious garden area or the preschool room so they have opportunities to learn and play indoors and outdoors.
The communication from both nursery staff in person and online via the app from nursery staff and management is excellent too. I highly recommend Pumpkin Patch Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.684)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.684) out of 10 for Pumpkin Patch Nursery Brighton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.962 for Pumpkin Patch Nursery Brighton is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 4.722 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pumpkin Patch Nursery Brighton is based on 13 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.722

  • 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.
