April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amNature Nursery is a unique, nurturing, setting. Being able to spend so much time outdoors whilst learning has been the most wonderful experience 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 staff are absolutely fabulous, such caring, attentive, patient, warm and fun people who really enrich the whole learning experience at Nursery. As a parent, I also always feel 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 recommend Nature Nursery to anyone looking for a setting.

June 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending this wonderfully different nursery since it opened a year and a half ago. There is nothing quite like this nursery. The chance to be outside and connected with nature so the benefits are instilled in them from a young age. The freedom to play in a beautiful space. The staff are lovely and really care passionately about the children and their development. My son has grown in confidence greatly from his time at Nature Nursery and his beautiful bond, particularly with his key worker. It also feels good 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 play, 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 happy with our experience here.
