My son started at Pump Farm 2 months ago and he is so happy there! We were very anxious moving him from his previous nursery as he was very settled but he enjoys Pump Farm even more. The staff are very attentive and there is never a dull moment - no matter what time we go to nursery activities are always in full swing.

My son enjoyed his time at Pump Farm enormously. From his first weeks in Ducklings aged 13 months, his interests have been developed and he's now a very inquisitive and questioning child - just the kind I'd love to have in my classroom if he weren't my own! Writing lots of letters and numbers and sitting nicely at a table can wait - exploring the world around him and enjoying finding things out are the work of early years.
I am full of admiration for the staff - they really care about bringing out the best in every child and are driven by what the child wants and needs rather than targets set
