They are calculated by taking your weekly attendance fee, multiplying it by 52 (weeks per year), then dividing this by 12 to create a monthly payment – payable in advance on the 1st day of each month by direct debit or by voucher.

    Settling in Sessions

    At Bumpkins Day Nursery, we believe that children flourish when their personal, social and emotional needs are met. With this in mind, we offer Settling in Sessions for your child before they start their nursery adventure. It’s extremely important that your child feels safe and secure at our Royston Nursery before they start permanent sessions.

    What to expect from Settling in Sessions

    You will first meet our team and your child’s Key Person and we will start to build relationships with you and your child. We will start to find out your child’s likes and dislikes, home routine and any specific requirements such as nap times, meal preferences and comforters.

    Our Nursery’s OFSTED Report 

    After the inspection of a setting, nurseries receive a full report of the inspector’s findings. Ofsted inspects us regularly. We have recieved an Outstanding at our Nursery site and Preschool site.

    Please call in or contact us to have a chat with the Bumpkins Day Nursery team if you’d like to discuss our practice or report at any time. We’ll be delighted to discuss them with you.


     

    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.
