October 23, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son started at Kids Love Nature when it first opened, and he has just flourished. The setting is beautiful, and the opportunities they are given are amazing.
He loves the outside and can’t wait for the walks to the allotment. He enjoys the time they have to be creative in the garden building ball runs and with the arts and crafts. He now attends 3-days and cant wait to go each day. He loves his key worker but has a good relationship with all the teachers. I must congratulate the team on how well they have adapted to the current situation. Our son went back in June, and obviously, we were extremely nervous, but we have felt his experience has been amazing. They make the children feel so safe and protected, and the procedures they have put in place really work well. They have helped the children understand what is going on while making them feel safe and loved. Being our third child, we have experienced many settings and feel it couldn’t be more perfect to nourish his little mind and soul.

October 23, 2020 at 12:00 amFantastic place.
They look after my kids, take great interest in us as a family, and bend over backwards to help whenever we need to be flexible.
Highly recommend.
Loads of outdoor activities, which I value for my kids.

November 5, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Kids Love Nature for almost two years and he absolutely loves nursery days, he can’t wait to get in the gate. The staff are so caring and attentive to the children’s needs and follow the children’s interest which keeps them learning and having fun. My son loves being outside so the allotment and attending to the chicken and ducks is one of his favourite things.

December 28, 2020 at 12:00 amFrom the day we had our look-around at Kids Love Nature we have loved it. We knew we wanted our son to go there. The learning is so unique, it’s all led by nature and also led by the children’s interests. For example, recently our son has shown a special interest in planes. I let his key person know about his interest in them, and by the next day she had prepared a special tuff tray with aeroplanes all shapes and sizes made from recycled materials, as well as books all about planes. Our son came back from nursery and as well as making the noise for planes (he’s not yet talking), he had also been shown the sign language for the word “plane” which he repeated for the rest of the evening. We feel like we are learning through what he is learning by being at Kids Love Nature! We are amazed by all the staff, their attention to detail, their special care for the children, also their genuine passion and interest for what they do. Our son loves going and we’ve noticed big leaps in his development.

March 29, 2022 at 12:00 amAlthough my child has only been going to the setting for 2 days a week, she has settled in effortlessly with the help of the amazing staff. They are keen to hear about how the children have been doing at home and if they need to try and encourage them with learning certain things. My child loves being in their garden, moving around and doing her own thing, which a lot of other nurseries would restrict to ‘playtime’. I love that this setting has an open-door policy so that if any child wants to be indoors/outdoors they will accommodate the best they can.

March 30, 2022 at 12:00 amI am so pleased that we chose Kids Love Nature for our daughter. The facilities are superb and far superior to anywhere else I have seen. For a child who adores nature and being outdoors, this kindergarten meets all of her activity needs and wants, whilst also providing her with a good educational foundation through play and fun.

April 1, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love this nursery! Our daughter has a fantastic time and we are so impressed with the variety of activities and experiences provided. The staff have always been enthusiastic, professional and clearly know the children in their care very well. The allotment is a brilliant resource and is really well used. Communication is spot on, great use of the parent app.

April 11, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves the nursery, she is going every morning with a smile, she loves her teachers who are very kind and helpful. She enjoys playing with all the toys and going out in the garden. We have a lot of fun at the nursery. They have a very nice and well maintained allotment where children can learn by playing about nature, plants and animals.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amI am overall very happy with Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster. Even my little one asks to go into the nursery. I think the staff work very hard to achieve every kid’s emotional and learning needs. I love how kids are being made aware of their environment through play. My little one often comes home with some new vocabulary and lots of fun stories of what they have been up to during the day.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending Kids Love Nature in Lytchett Minster for 6-months. It’s a nurturing, fun and very happy place staffed by a team that genuinely cares about the children’s growth, development and sense of self.
From spending time in the allotments, nature walks, yoga, and feeding the resident ducks through to planting vegetables in the poly-tunnels, many of the activities are geared towards outdoor learning and the world around them. Meals are healthy, largely vegetarian with many ingredients ‘kindergarten grown’. Messy, creative play is encouraged with arts, crafts and water-based activities meaning spare clothes and shoes are essential. I feel confident that our daughter is really developing her social skills, learning something new every day via activities we would struggle to replicate at home (or in any other nursery setting). The Ofsted outstanding rating is richly deserved with credit to the team for their boundless energy, fun and creativity.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster for a year and has just transitioned from caterpillars to ladybirds. After settling in amazingly to caterpillars with the care, compassion and experience of the nursery staff, they have again helped her transition to the big girl room. They have all been kind and caring, and have helped her go from strength to strength. She delights in going to nursery every day and loves the facilities and the ducks.

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves attending Kids love Nature Kindergarten.
She comes out every day full of beans and has always had a full day of different activities.
The allotment is fantastic and all the children get an opportunity to plant things and help them grow.
The staff are so friendly and approachable, they are always happy to help with any inquiry and are there to offer support and advice for any parental challenges.
I can’t recommend the nursery highly enough, it’s a fantastic environment for children to develop, be creative and confident.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amI couldn’t be happier with Kids Love Nature. My son has been going since he was 1.5 years and he’s nearly 4. I am going to be sad when he has to leave for school in September. Kids Love Nature is the most amazing place! The staff, the setting, the allotment, the time spent outdoors in nature, the yoga and the food, just everything is amazing. Going to nursery there has helped him grow into the most amazing, kind and caring child. If I could keep him in that environment for his whole school years, I would. It’s the best!

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has just started and has settled in beautifully. The staff have been amazing and he loves going already. I love being able to see what he gets up to so a few more pictures would be lovely. The food sounds really varied and nutritious.

May 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going here since she was one and she has thrived. The ethos and the way in which they approach learning is fantastic and evidence-based. Their outdoor environment is beautiful and allows for a real hands-on learning experience. My daughter loves attending and has built great relationships with staff and other children.
