Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Marwell Zoo

He is full of excitement, making friends and developing new skills, updates and character every week and this is hugely down to the setting and the team here.
I know he is having a well-balanced diet, receiving all the assistance he needs, as well as a nurturing and loving setting.
Seeing the updates and photos on the app is a joy and seeing him so cheerful really is everything
We have felt supported through tricky situations with hearing and delayed speech as well as advice which is consistently welcomed.
I cannot wait for my other little boy to start here and even though we commute an hour each way it is so worth it. Highly suggest to all! Our little one (now 2 and a half) has been coming to Kids Adore Nature since September 2021 and it is by far the best childcare centre I have come across.

The team are incredible, the outdoor space is huge and full of exciting things for the kids to explore. They spend lots of time outside and come home covered in mud and full of stories about the adventures of the day. The older kids go on regular visits to the zoo and the nearby forest. They are taught by zoologists and nature interpreters. They do yoga and eat organic freshly cooked pescatarian meals. The garden shares a fence with the zebras and giraffes- it is truly unique!
The team carefully plan meaningful activities to help kids to make development. They send regular updates through the parent via an app and we have found their updates and care for the kids and their families to be exceptional.
Our daughter started here two years ago aged 14 months and she absolutely loves it! She runs down the path and bounces through the door without a look back because she knows that her day will be full of enjoyable and lots of adventures! This childcare centre is in a league of its own.

Management consistently address any questions or concerns swiftly. Team are very attentive.
Facilities are very great
Zoo and forest visits add an added layer of education.
Great levels of updates from panda classroom.

All the team are incredible – inviting, compassionate and thoughtful, our twins adore everyone. The updates is remarkable whether via app, email or phone from both the childcare centre and office team.
Our twins took time to settle in and every day without fail, all the team took their time and gently encouraged and welcomed them without rushing, despite the busy morning drop-offs – now our kids don’t want to come home!
They come home with stories of forest walks and zoo visits, telling us everything they’ve learnt about the animals and how we should behave in nature. The setting is just unreal, full of adventure and innovative activities throughout the year.
The food is freshly prepared every day, full of variety and fresh fruits and veg.
At the end of the day, we get a full rundown of everything they’ve been up to, there are hugs and smiles and honestly, we couldn’t wish for a better place to take our kids each day. Could not suggest this childcare centre highly enough.

The settling in period was dealt with so well by the team and tailored to meet our needs to have a more gradual settling in process for a number of reasons.

Updates is exceptional whether telephoning, emailing or using the parent App. The management team and the team in the Panda room are consistently so supportive.

Every day, we are told of different activities that are so varied and includes plenty of outdoor time and experiences such as sensory.

The food menu is excellent too – really varied.

Most importantly, can just tell from the way the team interact with the kids, even just at drop off and pick up, how much the team care about the kids and it’s a really attentive, nurturing setting where the kids are very much up first. From the very beginning, the Kindergarten have been exceptional.

It was quite difficult at the beginning as she had spent most of her time with me and her dad alone at home due to the Covid19, and not much with anyone else before. But team at Kids Adore Nature have made such excellent efforts to brighten my daughter’s day and become one of her favourite groups of people in her life. There are consistently lots of cuddles, inviting smiles and loving encouragement each and every day. It’s been such a pleasure to see my daughter so fascinated with role playtime about what’s like at Kids Adore Nature when she is at home and she’d copy the way her key person organise daily routines etc. In her role playtime, there’re gentle words, a polite manner and so much care involved! I’m so glad that we send our daughter to Kids Adore Nature, even it means 20 mins drive each way as we leave in Southampton. Kids Adore Nature is definitely the best place for any kid. Oh, not even mentioned the huge garden overlooking giraffes and zebras! My daughter started her journey with Kids Adore Nature Marwell Zoo last year when she was 2.

Our kid loves going and is developing into a confident, curious attentive person because of them. He’s discovering about emotions, nature, the world and gets administered cuddles for anxious moments. The ethos of every team member is loving, calm and attentive. Team are highly skilled superstars listening, engaging and knowing all the kids and parents. Updates is outstanding. The spaces are huge natural and beautifully thought out inside and out to be kid-centred, foster discovering and nurture care and responsibility. Our kid loves the freedom to choose to be outside in the garden engaging, exploring and discovering. He has learnt so much from the carefully selected and prepared activities and provocations and the way team lead by example. Food is exceptional and healthy. A home from home (or better, we don’t have giraffes, zebras or the team at home). Every day exceeds our expectations.
Genuinely full of smiles laughter adore and respect for all people and nature. The perfect childcare centre!

The setting was an ideal way for her to spend her toddler and preschooler years. She came home full of fantastic stories about stomping in the forest or discovering about animals in the zoo. The team are all lovely and supportive. Settling in was hard and there were tears (mine and my daughter’s) and they couldn’t have been more attentive during those first sessions. It was hard to say goodbye when she went off to school but we’re cheerful to be returning to Marwell during school holidays! My daughter attended Marwell nature childcare centre for 2 years and she absolutely loved it.

The team are incredible, our little one is so cheerful there. He loves his trips to the zoo and the forest. His self‑assurance and understanding of the world has developed so much. It’s so lovely to know that he is secure and looked after fantastically, kept supplied with lots of lovely meals and snacks and having excellent enjoyable. Our little boy started here in August 2020 aged 2 and it is the best decision we made.

My oldest kid absolutely loves it. He enjoys being outside in all weathers, visiting the zoo and the forest. He learns so much and has developed such a adore and curiosity for exploring and discovering nature. He is also encouraged to develop his updates, independence, literacy and numeracy skills. He settled straight away at 2 years old and continues to adore it at 4 years old. My youngest is 1, and has just started. He is taking a while longer to settle but the team are supporting him with such care, he is getting more confident every session. I couldnt suggest this setting more, it has been the perfect place for my active, sensitive, unique boys. My sons both attend the childcare centre, one of them in the 0-2 provision, the other in the 2 years + classroom.
