Day Nurseries Owned by Kids Love Nature Ltd

We absolutely love the overall experience and fundamentals of KLN. Their location is exceptional and unmatched locally, with staff that build genuine connections with the children to help them grow and develop.

My daughter has been attending Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Avon Heath since September of last year. I was hesitant to choose to send my daughter into a nursery at first but the kindergarten has completely changed my views of what nurseries can be like. I see how well my daughter is looked after by all the team and how much she enjoys her days she attends there. She gets lots of fresh air playing outdoors and also gets to learn and explore in nature which is so beneficial for children. My daughter would now rather go into nursery than spend time with me which proves just how much she loves it!

I cannot recommend the Kindergarten enough, especially if your child loves being outdoors!

In just a few months, our little one has started her journey at KLN (with a few nerves) and now dances at the door with excitement waiting to go in!

We fell in love with the setting when we first viewed it and there was no other option for us. The staff have all been brilliant at welcoming her in and are so lovely to chat to. No matter who answers the door at pick-up, they will always know your child and can summarise their day. It is such a wonderful and personal experience and you can tell they really care. Our little one often chats about the staff when we're at home and has a great bond with them already. It is so lovely to see photos and updates of her day and the range of activities she can take part in, including gardening and cooking!

We're just at the beginning of our journey here but are already so pleased with our choice!

We've sent both our children over the years and they've both been really well looked after. They get to spend so much time in the fresh air and exploring. They've both made good use of the in-house artist and helping the ranger. Our youngest also loves helping the chef prep lunch and snacks!

They've both had chances to learn and grow beyond what we were expecting when we first looked for nurseries all those years ago.

We happily recommend them to anyone who asks!

KLN Wickham is a very nurturing nursery with caring staff who create a safe and engaging environment. They are supportive not only to the children but parents too and ensure excellent communication. We have total peace of mind whilst our child is in nursery and that counts for a lot. Our child has grown in confidence and enjoys the variety of activities each day, it's great they are an advocate for outdoor learning. We are so grateful to their particular attention and care towards our child's specific needs, often being flexible in their approach to ensure safety and wellbeing. Overall, a lovely place and very much recommended.

We immediately got a good feeling from the team on our first visit and since starting at the kindergarten, we continue our o feel very lucky that our child gets to participate in a friendly, kind and nurturing environment. The daily activities seem thoughtfully planned out, wonderful caring team and our child seems to absolutely love being there.

Unfortunately, due to change of circumstances were having to move our little boy to a setting closer to home and work placement but we thank KLN for everything

We had a tough time choosing between two nurseries. A year on, we say almost every week how glad we are that we chose KLN. The staff are brilliant. Attentive, nurturing and fun. They get to know each child as an individual and there is a big family feel, with teachers not just knowing the children in their class but the younger children too. This familiarity is so helpful for children transitioning through the classes. Meals are prepared fresh daily by the in house chef, often with ingredients picked from the allotment and children helping, and catering for allergies. Outdoor time is prioritised and when children are indoors a variety of learning materials and activities are set up for them to keep them entertained and encourage their learning and development. Curiosity, self-determination and independence are encouraged and the children have secure attachments that allow them to make the most of these opportunities. Thank you, everyone, we are so glad to have found you!

As a first time mum, finding a nursery was quite daunting but I had no doubts with KLN that my son would be well looked after and have fun every day. He has made great progress throughout his time so far and the daily updates we receive are amazing and we love reading them with him at the end of the day.

I've had my eldest son at KLN Lymington and now have my youngest at the setting, and both have had and continue to have fantastic experiences. There is always a real variety with regard to activities and the weather never stops the team from finding brilliant things to do with the children. The nursery encourages independence and making choices to allow for the freedom to explore a child's full potential and explore new interests. I am aware that Offsted have previously rated the setting as Outstanding and the team are brilliant and really focus on each individual's needs. I love the nursery and it has given both my children all the skills they need to make a flying start in school.

The staff are all amazing and caring people, the activities the kids get up to sound great fun. Our child is always eager to go to nursery, visit the allotment and play with their friends. We hear stories about yoga, gardening, and painting. They take photos and give regular updates on what the children are doing. Overall this has been a great experience and we're glad we chose them.

We absolutely love this nursery. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, and it's clear how much they care about the children. Isabella feels so relaxed there and really thrives from all the daily activities.

She sleeps well, eats well, and is always happy when she's there. It's been amazing to see how brilliantly she is doing and how well she settled in when she first started. We couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.

Lovely place, wish my daughter could stay one more year here! :)

My baby has been attending since September last year. Ever since my daughter has been going to KLN I can see that she is thriving. She is only 16 months currently but loves her key worker so much that she often wants to stay at nursery with her teacher. The washload a day is a small price to pay for the experience she gets at the allotments. Photos have been sent home multiple times of her covered head to toe in mud which is exactly how she should be experiencing childhood. Thanks everyone

Just an amazing team who care for our children wonderfully! We have had 2 children at the nursery and honestly could not rave about the team enough. So approachable, child centred approaches with an emphasis on play which has been fantastic for my kids development! I also most importantly feel that my child is SAFE in their care!

Can't praise KLN enough for its friendly staff and wonderful outdoor space encouraging children's love of nature and exploring. Our little girl has grown so much in confidence since starting and we always pick her up with a smile on her face.

We have been so delighted with KLN. All 3 of my children and been at KLN and they are some of the happiest times of their lives. They have made great friends and been supported so well in their growth and development. Could not recommend more.

Our son loves going to Kids Love Nature. The staff are all so kind and caring and look after all the children so well. My son especially loves the garden and farm and always comes home with stories about what they have been up to. Lovely little nursery.

My son has attended Kids love nature Wickham for just under 2 years after moving from a different nursery. Since starting at Wickham he has truly thrived! I believe this is down to the nurturing team that provide such wonderful opportunities that aren't offered at every nursery. Being such an outdoorsy boy the different environments offered has really suited him and he has learnt so much. Especially after spending time with the gardener at the allotment and at their onsite nature school. He is very settled, made lots of friends and finds nursery days very exciting. I'm most satisfied with his care and know he is with the most caring and attentive team!

My daughter started at Kids Love Nature in November and, after an initial settling in period, has really thrived there. She is able to access a wonderful balance of allotment/garden/art/yoga/stories/learning activities. The communication with the staff is excellent and all questions are answered promptly and clearly. The opportunities for parents to visit on family days is also really nice. We are very happy!
