Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach and the Forest School’s of Scandinavia.
At the heart of our approach is a ‘Powerful Image of the Child’ as strong, full of potential and capable of leading their own learning
Pumpkin in the Park is set in the beautiful Wish Park in Hove, where the children can explore all the park has to offer - wide-open spaces to run, climb, jump and play games as well as the wonderful Wish Park allotment for growing and planting.
Pumpkin in the Park also has its own enclosed garden directly off our wonderful open plan nursery space specially created for children aged two to five years supported by our outstanding team of educators, Early Years teachers, chef, Forest School leaders, and Artist in Residence.

Forest School at Pumpkin Patch
Pumpkin Patch recognises the benefits of learning and exploringthe natural world. We have created our own bespoke Forest School programme drawing on the expertise of our qualified and experienced Forest School leaders.
We offer Forest School sessions on site to ensure all children benefit from carefully planned sessions using tools, exploring flora and fauna and the nature all around us. Some of our Nurseries offer sessions into our local parks and woodlands to extend this learning and exploration.
The children love these sessions and and are eager to share their learning and wonder. ‘I can’t believe we found all these in our garden! I wonder what will be hear tomorrow!’
