Our Environments

At Bumpkins Day Nursery we know how important environments are for children. Our enviroments are designed to support your child’s growth, their development – physically, socially, mentally and intellectually.

The combination of the environments at our day nursery in Royston and our loving and caring staff team helps ensure that each child can be the most complete version of themselves.

Indoor environments

Our indoor environments are made up of carefully designed age-specific rooms for babies, toddlers, 2-3’s and preschool. All rooms are all equipped with the best Early Years furniture available, designed to optimise development whilst generating maximum enjoyment and resourced with a huge breadth and depth of equipment to give our children the widest experiences.

At Bumpkins Day Nursery we know that every single child in our care is an individual, which is why we have created a selection of resources that allows us to meet every child’s need. Each child is on their own journey, and this helps to guide them along their path, during their Early years. We cater for all children and guarantee that they can be comfortable expressing who they are and having an environment they feel secure in. Our rooms are laid out to include cosy, quiet areas as well as creative areas and physical play areas; and we allow each child to make their own choices about their interests, and never lock them into disciplined routines doing things they don’t enjoy. Our environments are all about your children being able to learn through play and enjoyment.

Outdoor environments

Our nursery and preschool both enjoy large superb outdoor play facilities with all-weather play surfaces outside. Our indoor rooms are well equipped and offer our children the opportunity to learn, explore and develop through play. Our children are cared for by well-qualified staff, all of whom have lots of experience in childcare. One of the more unique aspects of the environments at Bumpkins is the woodland natural environment field area. We are a nursery that takes the children for visits to the park or go on adventures making full use of the local amenities. We love seeing the children learn to interact safely with the wider world and to begin to understand all that it holds – and the opportunities it offers them.

Our daughter loves her time at nursery; it has definitely helped her grow in confidence and self-assurance, in fact, I’m lucky if I get a wave goodbye as she runs in and starts with the routine of the day. Her conversation and use of language has extended due to the careful questioning of well-trained staff and open-ended activities. Her ability to share with peers and be understood has been shaped by good modelling and consistency of staff interaction. Bumpkins care for, know and understand our daughter and that’s all we could ever ask!

What Our Parents Say

When leaving our daughter for the first time we were reassured and supported every step of the way. My daughter comes out of nursery happy after having her feedback and it's amazing how they adapt to each child's needs. She enjoys looking at her learning journey with us, saying what she is doing in the pictures. The setting is calm and welcoming, the staff are enthusiastic and caring . Bumpkins has endless opportunities for my daughter to explore and learn in a natural curiosity way. She has made lovely bonds with the grownups already; she has settled so quickly and that is down to the amazing team and managers that support her and help her thrive!

PA (Mother of Child)

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
