November 24, 2024 at 1:58 pmBeing able to spend so much time outdoors whilst discovering has been the most fantastic journey for my little one, be it playing games in the meadow, growing their own food in the garden and polytunnel, or exploring wildlife in the woods; each day there is a story to tell at hometime. The team are absolutely fabulous, such attentive, attentive, patient, inviting and enjoyable people who really enrich the whole discovering journey at Childcare centre. As a parent, I also consistently sense included and welcomed. I can’t comment on the breakfast and supper club, as my little one doesn’t attend them. I can however highly suggest Nature Childcare centre to anyone looking for a setting. Nature Childcare centre is a unique, nurturing, setting.

March 25, 2025 at 12:59 pmThere is nothing quite like this childcare centre. The chance to be outside and connected with nature so the benefits are instilled in them from a young age. The freedom to playtime in a lovely space. The team are lovely and really care passionately about the kids and their development. My son has grown in self‑assurance greatly from his time at Nature Childcare centre and his lovely bond, particularly with his key worker. It also feels great to be supporting a worthwhile charity.
My son does a lot of reading here, he loves phonics. He loves the construction area, playing instruments at the stage, cooking and making potions in the mud kitchen. Going into the wood is also a real treat. There is also an obstacle course, hammocks, tennis playtime, a polytunnel and veg patch. There is a shelter where they eat and a yurt with a wood burner for chillier days. We are really cheerful with our journey here. My son has been attending this wonderfully different childcare centre since it opened a year and a half ago.
