Corner House Nursery has been a great experience for my girls. They have been going for over two years now and they really enjoy it. The staff are all amazing and we can really see how the nursery has aided in the girls development.

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from C P (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All of my children have gone to DNK, my daughter is now at school, my middle child is in the bumblebee room and my youngest is in the rainbow room. I can't recommend DNK enough, from the care and attention given to each child to all of the fun, educational outdoor activities they do on a daily basis. All of my children have thrived. Leah, in the rainbow room has been the perfect key worker for our little boy, he absolutely adores her and she has brought out the best in him, she's so attentive to his personality and just gets him. Linzi, in the bumblebee room was our daughter's key worker and is the same for our middle child. He absolutely adores her and feels very safe in her care. She's always thinking of new ways to challenge him academically and spends so much time with him. I can't thank DNK enough as without them our children wouldn't be the confident, caring little people they are today, thank you

my son attends DNK once a week and has loved his time there, the girls are great and are so nurturing and attentive to my child's individual needs! The girls in the sunbeams especially! He always comes home happy when he attends the nursery and always looks forward to going in.

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from Graham W (Father of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending DNK about 9months now, starting just before their 1st bday. Right from the start the Sunbeam room staff were brilliant at making our child feel welcomed, safe and were so good at helping us all adapt to the initially hard step of sending your baby off to nursery and the separation anxiety both children and parents feel! The mix of activities including plenty of outdoor play has really suited our child.
When he was ready for the step up to the next age group room, the nursery staff talked to us and made us feel nothing was being rushed and it was a natural transition.
He is out playing everyday, nature walks, great range of seasonal themed crafts indoors, story times and everything you could hope for as a parent.
The staff are very professional and switched on with allergies/possible allergies and are quick to act of there is any concern.

We are so glad we chose DNK for our boy, the staff all seem so lovely and allow children to thrive!

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! Were delighted to hear how well your son has settled and is thriving in the Sunbeam room. Its great to know that the mix of activities, outdoor play, and thoughtful transitions have made him feel happy and confident.

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from Kirsty R (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Dunblane.Nature Kindergarten is fantastic! Our daughter has been attending for about a year and absolutely loves her nursery days. From a new start in the Sunbeams to now being a Sunflower, she has been fully supported by the staff has bonded so well with them, and has made so many friends.
We really appreciate how the nursery have supported our daughter and the whole family following the recent arrival of a new sibling. Their flexibility and support has been invaluable, particularly with our daughter transitioning to being a big sister. The thoughtful end educational activities that the children do are also brilliant.

Would 10/10 recommend DNK as a fantastic nursery.

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from Celeste B (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started at DNK in August 2025, in the Bumblebee room! We were greeted with such warmth and friendliness by the staff. Our son has loved attending nursery, his speech has developed so nicely and he has made amazing friends along the way. We are always given informative updates on our son and feel he is given so many opportunities to learn, grow and express himself in all the interactive play and lessons!

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from Alice C (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

DNK have been wonderful in welcoming our family to the area, making a huge, stressful transition from England to Dunblane a lot easier. Management have been so flexible and understanding of our situation which has been so helpful. The staff are caring, knowledgeable, and brilliant with the children, and really lovely to interact with, thoughtfully updating us on how our son is doing (particularly after difficult drop offs!). He's beginning to settle well, helped enormously by the stimulating environment and the amazing opportunities for outdoor play. I'd really recommend this nursery to anyone in the area.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten

Thank you so much for your kind words! Were thrilled to hear that we could help make your move to Dunblane smoother and support your son as he settles in. Its wonderful that hes enjoying the environment, outdoor play, and the care from our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and were so happy to have your family as part of our nursery community!

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lyla moved to DNK in August last year so we could be closer to home. When we first moved I was worried she wouldn't settle or find the change too challenging due to being happy in her previous nursery. From the moment I reached out to the nursery for more information, I've had nothing but reassurance and filled with confidence that I was making the right decision. Within the first week of doing settle sessions, I knew this was the best place for both Lyla and myself. She settled in amazingly as if she had been there from day dot and built such strong relationships with Mia and the other staff in the baby room. Lyla is now in the Sunflower room and I couldn't be happier or prouder of how much she has come on in every aspect of her development thanks to the incredible care and support from Leah and all the team. She waves bye bye every morning without a second of hesitation, it's like a home from home for her. I can't thank DNK & all the staff enough for everything they do for my family!

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten

Overall Experience
We've had such a positive experience over the past two years. The staff are really great - really caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the children. Our son, now in bumblebees, loves nursery!
There is always such a nice mix of activities, and really like the creativity of the staff on how it's tied into the seasons. Also love the fact that they spend quite a lot of time outdoors.

We're really happy with the care they provide and would definitely recommend this nursery.

Review of Dunblane Nature Kindergarten from Ashleigh M (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been at this nursery for 18 months and started in the baby room and is now in the 2-3 year old room. I can't recommend this nursery more. My son has thrived here and made some lovely bonds with the staff and his peers. I feel safe knowing he's well looked after while my husband and I are at work.
I phone to check on my wee one and the staff don't make me feel as if I'm bothering them and that is appreciated as I know how busy they can be.

They do so many lovely activities with them and they get outdoors as much as possible which is great. Any issues or fears I have are listened to and addressed promptly and with compassion. Please keep doing what your doing - your amazing and should be told that more often.
