Staff at Little Pumpkins Nursery will always strive to make every child feel safe in our care, allowing for the best education and development of each and every child.

Every child is different and will learn at a different rate to the next, so we plan each activity with the individual needs of the child in mind. Activities are planned in advance of children’s arrival for the day and will always have their education and overall development in mind.

For a happy child, regularity and routine are exceptionally important. This will not only help them develop socially with other children in attendance, it’ll also ensure they’re calm at home because they understand what to expect on a day to day basis.

Little Pumpkins Nursery will provide plenty of encouragement for your child whatever their age, gender or abilities. We understand that, in a media-heavy world, children are easily influenced from a very young age, so we take extra care to ensure each and every child develops a strong self-belief, self-respect and also a deep respect for others.

It is our objective and vision to care for and educate our children, identify their full potential and to encourage them regularly to ensure they always have a belief in their own abilities.
