July 30, 2020 at 12:00 amOur eldest daughter started Wildflowers forest school when she was 3 and has attended to July 2020. Our son has also started and will attend until he needs to leave for school. The owner/manager (who runs it) is originally from Sweden and has a passion for educating young children by enabling them to use their instincts and intuition in a safe and structured way.
The first half of the day is spent outdoors in the forest (come rain or shine) where she will take them on walks and allow them to learn through play. The children are encouraged to work together to solve problems and snacks are offered in the form of water and homemade bread. Afternoons include a rest, lunch and learning in a beautifully converted barn.
Our children have flourished in this environment and I can highly recommend that it makes your shortlist for prospective pre-schools. It has multiple Ofsted ratings of outstanding and if you haven’t heard about it that is because the marketing is word of mouth only!

October 5, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Wildflowers since she was 3 and loves it. Children learn so much from just being in nature. Wildflowers provide a very supportive environment to build confidence and independence in children. It has a very balanced combination of outdoor and indoor activities, healthy nutritious meals and experienced, loving staff. View less.

October 9, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son started at Wildflowers just before he turned three. We had been looking for somewhere with an outdoor focus on education and Wildflowers more than ticked the box. It is a really unique kindergarten, with a fantastic team wholly focused on supporting, educating and caring for the children. My son is now an all-weather child, genuinely happy to be outside in wind, rain or snow. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and he is a very happy and sociable child, all of which I put to the care he has received at Wildflowers. I cannot recommend Wildflowers Kindergarten and team more highly.

September 21, 2021 at 12:00 amA magical place where children can thrive and develop, connect with nature and each other. Child-led learning with boundaries as necessary – such places should not be a rarity, rather a norm! Thoroughly recommend.

January 4, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children have been fortunate enough to go to Wildflowers and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
The owner/manager is so passionate about early years and wants the very best for your children.
The staff are wonderful and caring.
The food is vegetarian and organic and they eat by candlelight in a calm and organised environment!
They venture out every day regardless of the weather. They don’t take toys outdoors… this is a proper “forest school” where they head out into nature with curious minds and play play play! Children are taught the importance of community and respect.
You really have to meet the team and spend time with them which is encouraged, it’s magical. I feel very grateful my kids went here.

January 7, 2022 at 12:00 amWe were fortunate to discover Wildflowers! We were searching for a nature orientated kindergarten that allowed our little one to develop at her own pace. Since starting at Wildflowers our little one has blossomed and is growing from strength to strength. She is so excited to go to kindergarten in the mornings and equally when we pick her up in the afternoon. All she can talk about is her kindergarten and the friends that she plays with each day! The manager and her team are absolutely amazing and are extremely attentive to the children’s needs and development. Wildflowers is truly a magical place and comes highly recommended!

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amWildflowers Kindergarten is an exceptional place run by amazing and dedicated individuals. The children spend most of their time outside, come rain or shine, experiencing and learning from nature. They enjoy the freedom to express themselves within the stability of a structured routine. And whilst they’re busy having fun they accidentally learn a huge amount, developing both as little people and also absorbing knowledge from the caring and brilliant staff. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Wildflowers Kindergarten. Our son has thrived and we can’t wait to send our daughter when she’s old enough. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.
