Day Nursery Owned by Thrive Childcare and Education in Angus

much they get outside. Dundee Nature Kindergarten has had such a good impact on her, when she comes home she can talk about what she did there and her friends and what they were doing with the staff for hours after and she gets so excited about it, so I think that speaks volumes in itself and I know I definitely picked the right nursery for her. 100% recommend this place for anyone looking for a nursery for their child!

fault the staff at all they've been incredible, so friendly. It's always a good sign that your child is happy to go in the door and happy enough when you are leaving, this shows me he is relaxed and enjoys being there. In the year that my son has been attending this nursery the staff have been nothing short of amazing. My son has a dairy and soya intolerance and they have been able to cater for this no problem at all. I would absolutely recommend this nursery, if you're considering, book a visit.

to have open discussions to ensure the best for her. She has had a range of medical ups and downs and the nursery’s support has been amazing. They’ve supported her emotionally, administered her medicines daily without fault and adapted meals to meet her needs. The outside facilities are phenomenal and the forest school is a unique experience within the city as a whole. It has opened her up to a whole new range of activities and encouraged her confidence outdoors. Her social skills have improved and she is confident in speaking to all her peers and adults. She knows she can express her feelings and concerns in a safe environment with caring adults around her.

Nature Kindergarten and forest school has been a real bonus but it is the the kindness and support of the staff that have really made her time there. They know her so well and have supported her all the way. She will be off to school in August so nearly time to move on but she will leave with great memories. Cannot recommend highly enough. Such a great nursery and we have loved the time there.

felt like doing. They have a vast and generous compound in comparison to most nurseries, which allowed each age group to be given their own outdoor and (various) indoor activities. Our children had been there in the baby room, the 1-2, the 2-3, and now the 3-5 room. All fun, all loving teachers, and an inclusive and safe environment for their development. The best part of this nursery is the woodlands, where friendships are forged. The woodlands/mud patch is the heart of our children's sharing with us about their day in nursery. It's great that now the woodlands have been transformed into the forest school and our youngest loved it since its introduction.

and work with me to provide the best care and environment for my child. The forest school has been such an amazing addition to the nursery, my son nearly always comes home caked in dirt and mud, especially in the summer months and we know he’s had a day of lots of fun. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

for outdoor learning also. The meals are nutritious and varied! Overall, a fantastic nursery.

in 1-2 year old room.

in all rooms and areas for quiet time or messy play. The smell of the freshly cooked food from the on-site kitchen makes me wish I could have my lunch there too!

between the nursery and parents is seamless, with regular updates and open-door policy that encourages parental involvement. I wholeheartedly recommend Dundee Nature Kindergarten to parents seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones.

on, which makes it feel more personal. Also, he had been under the weather and without any promoting they were aware and asked how he had been. Just feels like communication amongst staff is excellent. The rooms are set up with so much for the kids to do and explore. Always lots of different activities planned. The selection of food and menu choices are brilliant too and there is always an amazing smell from the kitchen. The other wonderful addition to the nursery is the parent app. It’s great to have it to hand and to see throughout the day how they have got on. Overall, we have had a faultless experience. The staff and management really do make the nursery so fantastic!

help him settle. My children both love being outside so all the outdoor space and the focus on being outside as much as possible is a real highlight for us.

much space to run around and enjoy with their friends. Having the forestry area at the back is another win in my books as the kids get to learn outdoor skills with their nature lead who is doing a great job since joining the team. Overall, it’s an incredible nursery with such friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend to anyone for their kids.

and every staff member is so attentive and genuinely caring, management always goes above and beyond too. The variety of food is fantastic and always varies. Genuinely one of our best decisions was to go with Dundee Nature Kindergarten, I’d always recommend it to everyone!

or wee illness etc, my daughter had some medical issues for a while, and Karen was fantastic in making sure the staff kept an eye out for any signs in the rooms-thankfully nothing came of it but they are just so interested in the well being of the children.
The rooms are well kept, lots of toys and the outside space is second to none. I love that there is the wood area as well, which can only stimulate their imagination. My daughter always kicks up a wee fuss on a Monday morning about going in within ten minutes, she is settled, and when she is picked up, she doesn't want to leave!
Highly recommend!
