About us

 

 

Aims

Our aim is to provide a happy, secure and stimulating environment for children in our care. We aim to encourage every child to achieve their full potential and to develop their confidence and enthusiasm for learning. We aim to provide good quality childcare using only resources of a high standard and fully qualified staff.

Philosophy

We believe that children learn best when they experience things first hand, through carefully planned activities children will have opportunities to learn through self-exploration. Play is an important part of early years development and forms an essential part of our planning.

Organisation

 

Pumpkin Patch Day Nurseries are registered for 29 and 36 children between the ages of 3 months and 5 years. The nursery offers full and sessional day care for 3 or more sessions per week. ‭ The nursery is in an established house, which has been carefully adapted to meet the needs of the children.

 

There is regular opportunity for mixing between age groups and for all the children to integrate with one another.

Operating hours

Pumpkin Patch is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday. It is open for 51 weeks a year, closing only for Bank Holidays and for approximately 1 week between Christmas and New Year.

Meals

Breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are provided daily and are included in the fees. We provide drinks throughout the day. All our food is carefully prepared on the premises by our own cook. The food provided ensures a balanced and nutritious diet. Vegetarians and most dietary requirements are catered for. A copy of weekly meal plans will be given to parents on entry to the nursery and also made available on display in the nursery. We do ask that milk is provided for babies.
