I have a problem with the pump on my garden pond fountain. It keeps
getting
clogged with small insects, leaves and other small debris.

THere should be a filter on the inlet of the pump. Do you still have
the instructions?

Try tying the end of a pair of tights over the end of the inlet to stop
it sucking things up. Clean as necessary.

That would work for a bit but normally those pumps have a small foam filter
attached to the inlet that has to be taken off and cleaned every now and
then. If the water has lots of detritus in it then perhaps it's time to
clean out and refill the sump too.
