Take a look at what the parents of the children in our care have to say about our Royston Day Nursery. We hope you’ll find these nursery reviews useful.
My son is very settled at the preschool and is happy to come in in the mornings. All the staff are very good with him and since starting his speech has improved lots as well as his manners!
JK (Parent of Child)
My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery, she has built some lovely relationships with the staff and they have taken so much time to get to know her. My daughter initially settled well, but since moving rooms she has been supported well in her transition. She is offered a wide range of fun, stimulation activities all of which she enjoys, she is learning something new all of the time! I can’t thank Bumpkins enough for the care they give her.

Bumpkins Nursery in Whaddon- Can’t recommend highly enough.
HX (Parent of Child)
Bumpkins is wonderful, going to really miss the team when my little one leaves in September!
KS (Parent of Child)
Such a wonderful place! Their communication is brilliant!
LH (Parent of Child)
I have had a very positive experience of Bumpkins. My youngest daughter was a lockdown baby, so I was very nervous leaving her. All he staff were brilliant with her, even though I was super nervous she settled amazingly! Staff have gone out of their way, making me feel comfortable and the settling in sessions were amazing. I love that I get regular pictures of both my girls and my eldest doesn’t want to leave at he mend of the day. The resources they use are fab and my girls love the activities. I am very pleased with my choice of nursery.

L is now 3 years old and has been with Bumpkins since she was 4 months old. “she loves making artwork to bring home and it is pinned in various placed around the house. I’d describe Bumpkins as friendly, welcoming and a very safe place to be” When we asked our daughter what her favourite food is, she replied with “jam sandwiches” – not quite the reply we’d been expecting, but we’re pleased that she could answer so quickly and eloquently!
R (Father of Child)
A told us that she thinks the outdoor space is “super”, that her son “loves seeing the tractors every day”, that “every a problem for the staff and they are all enthusiastic and full of energy”.

E has been with you since she was eight months old and turns three tomorrow so it’s been a big decision for us to make! She started in the Red Tractor room, went through to Yellow Combines and is now in Orange Scarecrows, so she has got to know the whole nursery. We have been so grateful for the care received and feel blessed that such an amazing nursery was available to us. Being new to the area with no family able to help out and having just lost my mother, we were totally reliant on Bumpkins in the early days to ensure I had a break and could then be a better mummy. I personally feel very sad about parting company but E has moved on and before we know it will be at school! With many thanks and best wishes to you and the incredible Bumpkins team

Leaving your children to go to work is a terrifying prospect but with both my children the experience was made much less painful by the wonderful support of all the staff at Bumpkins. There is a truly nurturing feel to the nursery, and my children have always been made to feel special. My fears were never made to feel silly, and there has always been someone on the end of the phone to tell me how the children are getting on during the day or answer any questions I have. As a teacher, I have always been impressed by the social skills the children learn at Bumpkins and what they do during the day; playing outside, learning creatively, laughing, having fun. The most important thing to me is that my children are happy, and in an environment where they feel safe whilst I’m not with them. Bumpkins has great pastoral care and my children absolutely adore the adults who care for them, and support them in their development. I can’t ask for anything more.

I had my first parents evening for my daughter last night & I almost cried to be told how lovely & caring she is towards other babies & how incredibly well she is doing for her age. I’m soo pleased for her and also a thank you to bumpkins for being there as well to help her became a lovely girl that she is. Thank you again.

It was H’s last day today and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all at Bumpkins for caring for Harry over the past 4 years. He goes off to school a happy, confident and cheeky chap and Bumpkins have played a huge part in that. When you have a child with a disability you have all the usual anxieties and worries plus the other stuff… Bumpkins have been brilliant – enabling and encouraging H to fulfil his potential whilst providing exactly the right amount of support he has needed. As parents we value the relationships and trust we have built up with staff over the years.
C (Mother of Child)
D had his last day at Bumpkins yesterday – and he zipped out of the door with his usual grin and not so much as a backwards glance. I just wanted to say thank you very much for all the care and kindness you have shown to D during his four years with you – right through from his time in the Baby room. He has enjoyed himself so much at Bumpkins – especially at the Preschool Unit – and you have prepared him so well for his next adventures in life as he starts at Big School in September. Thank you

I cannot say enough good things about this nursery… The staff are outstanding; always available, caring, ready to engage with both parents and children… The care is flexible, tailoring to the parents preferences as much as possible, in terms of feeding styles, sleep patterns, etc. A wonderful range of activities is enjoyed by children in all rooms. The staff in the baby room are excellent at helping you managing that difficult, emotional process of settling your baby and leaving them. And all the children seem so content and happy. Could not be happier with this provision.

It’s going to be the end of a very long period. We’ve kind of been in and out of Bumpkins for 8 years now. They’ve had a wonderful time here.
