The nursery are fantastic with both my son and daughter.
My son has autism and they cater to their needs really well. They have helped us every step of the way getting my son the extra help he needs and the attention to detail is amazing with reports.
We are constantly updated via the Famly app so
always know what our children are doing on a day to day basis.

My daughter first attended another nursery which I did not like, having no updates. We then went to Pumpkins Patch and it was easily the best decision we made. She absolutely loves it! And I do also, the staff are brilliant and the app we use is great
Highly recommend!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our son has been attending the nursery for just over a year. The transition for him wasn’t straightforward with covid restrictions, but the staff and keyworker went above and beyond to welcome and settle him in. He adores his time at nursery and has made some wonderful relationships with his peers.
What makes the nursery so unique is their ability to step outside the box and encourage genuine creativity from the children. From garden obstacle courses to volcano constructions, staff facilitate an environment where children can orchestrate their own learning pathways. We would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to others without hesitation, and will be sending our next child there when the time comes. Thank you Pumpkin Patch!

Pumpkin Patch in Worthing is brilliant. My son attended from when he was 3 until he started school. He was always provided with stimulating learning experiences by time in the atelier, the amazing outside space and at forest school. He was sad to leave, especially the staff who he had formed connections
with. My daughter now attends the toddler room. She settled in really well (and she naps well there too!). The care is excellent. All the staff are warm, supportive and caring. The food must be good as my fussy eaters have eaten well when attending. The staff are great at updating during the day, we love getting photos of the activities that our daughter is doing on her nursery days. I highly recommend this nursery.

Pumpkin Patch are fantastic. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. He absolutely loves the atelier room and the staff seek to engage the children by following their interests. The staff are kind and nurturing. They supported my son so well when his little brother was born. We have chosen to
send our youngest to Pumpkin Patch as we are so happy with the care the children receive.

My eldest daughter attends Pumpkin Patch and my youngest is starting there in August. We moved in September last year from London and we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. All the staff are so lovely and helpful, our daughter does so many different activities and has so many friends, it makes us
so happy that she is there. We especially love the fact that she has access to such a great outdoor space as much as she wants, which is a huge change from her nursery in London.
We couldn’t recommend the nursery enough.

My little girl went here and was followed on by my son and have already got my baby of 8 weeks booked in ready for next year. Always happy and friendly staff! Have always been amazing with communication and nothing is ever any trouble, have always adapted things when needed to help with my son's eating.
My little boy is always happy going and has an amazing relationship with the people that look after him. Could not fault it.

When choosing a nursery for my daughter I knew it wasn’t going to be easy! However, when I walked around Pumpkin Patch, I instantly knew it was the one! They put me at ease, reassured me and everyone had a friendly face!
Communication was something that was paramount to me and they have an app whereby
they upload details and photos about my daughter's days.
At Pumpkin Patch the practitioners go above and beyond and I feel incredibly lucky my daughter has a place here!

My daughter loves her nursery. I do see her development and the things she learns from nursery, all of which is developed by playing.
Any queries asked are dealt with quickly.
She also does enjoy the food, most of the time eats all of it, so this keeps us less worried about her eating.
Would recommend
the nursery to all friends and family.

Pumpkin Patch Nursery are amazing, from the consistency of trained and friendly staff to the activities, food and attention given to the children. Since my daughter has been attending Pumpkin Patch the past 18 months after pulling her out of another local nursery due to unsatisfactory treatment, my
daughter has excelled in her speech, language, confidence and understanding of her emotions and the world around her. My daughter loves going to nursery and I love being able to see via the App what they have been up to during the day and seeing how happy she is. Highly recommend this nursery!

We moved our daughter to Pumpkin Patch Nursery after being less than impressed with her previous nursery. We’re so glad we made this decision as Pumpkin Patch has proved to be an excellent nursery.
My daughter has really increased in confidence since she started and has become a very inquisitive child
- eager to understand the world around her.
We particularly love the atelier and the fact that forest school sessions are available (for an additional fee).
The child-led ethos of Pumpkin Patch is really admirable and I wouldn’t hesitate to (and have already) recommended the nursery to others.

The staff at Pumpkin Patch Nursery continue to amaze me, they are caring and understanding and always have the child's best interests at heart.
My son is partially sighted and they make adjustments to suit him and give him time and patience when he needs it.
We are so happy with the nursery, and
all they do for our son.
I cannot express enough just how fantastic this setting is!

Would highly recommend Pumpkin Patch Nursery to other parents. Staff know both my children well and the care they provide feels personalised and genuine. The projects in the atelier within Kindergarten allow children to explore their current knowledge of more abstract concepts creatively.

A truly amazing nursery. My daughter has always loved coming here as she has fun, makes friends and is cared for to the highest standard by the staff that work here.
They have endless activities for the children to do, all of which are put together with the children in mind, age appropriate and mean
that they have fun and learn all at the same time.
Parents are always kept in the loop and we get regular updates about how our daughter is getting on.
I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing, fun and forward thinking place for their child to go.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) out of 10 for Pumpkin Patch Nursery Worthing (St Botolphs) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.883 for Pumpkin Patch Nursery Worthing (St Botolphs) is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.883

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pumpkin Patch Nursery Worthing (St Botolphs) is based on 36 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, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
