From the moment we visited my son was very happy to come to nursery. When I collect him he does not want to leave and invites me in to play with him. What more could a mummy want?

Mrs Douglas-Koch

After moving from Yorkshire, we were anxious that our daughter settled quickly at Pump Farm and enjoyed it as much as her last nursery, and we have been thrilled with how quickly she has settled in the warm, family atmosphere and the time and care the staff give to her.

Mr & Mrs Griffin

Harry thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery, so much so that we often have to chase round after him to get him to come home!! Pump Farm Day Nursery is a wonderful environment for children to learn, play and be happy. The staff are friendly and approachable and fantastic with the children. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of nursery.

Mrs Cluer

Pump Farm day Nursery is a fantastic nursery! The staff are great with the children and our son loves attending. We feel that our son has developed very quickly once he started here and he is learning at a fantastic rate all thanks to the staff at Pump Farm! We would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone! 5* from us.
