Review of
Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington
from Sam T (Father of Child) published on 27 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Kids Love Nature Lymington! From the moment we stepped in, we felt the warmth and welcoming atmosphere that makes it such a special place. The outdoor areas are simply amazing, offering endless opportunities for exploration, play, and learning in nature.

My two children

absolutely love going to nursery. Every day, they come home excited to share the new things they've tried and learned, whether it's discovering different plants, engaging in creative outdoor activities, new words and sounds, or simply having the freedom to explore. The staff truly foster a nurturing environment where children feel encouraged, cared for, and supported in their adventures.

It's wonderful to see their confidence grow as they take on new challenges, knowing they're in a place that values curiosity and creativity. I can't recommend Kids Love Nature Lymington enough-this is a place where children thrive, feel happy, and are inspired to learn every single day.

Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Wickham
from Katie M (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I can't thank Kids Love Nature Wickham enough for the amazing experience my boys have had. They absolutely loved attending and came home each day excited to share what they had learned and explored. The outdoor program sparked their curiosity and creativity in ways I hadn't imagined.
The staff are

fantastic and communicate regularly with us, keeping us informed on our children's progress and activities. I always felt confident that my kids were in safe, caring hands. It's clear the team is genuinely invested in their personal growth and development, and I've seen my boys become more independent, confident, and passionate about nature.
I'm so grateful to Kids Love Nature Wickham for everything they've done. They've truly made a positive impact on my children's lives, and I couldn't be more thankful.

from S S (Mother of Child) published on 8 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My daughters have been at Kids Love Nature for 3 and 1 year respectively. They are both always excited to go in the morning. We get clear information about what they have been up to through the app and a detailed briefing from a staff member at the end of the day. They spend a lot of time outdoors,

which is one of the reasons we chose the nursery. My daughters love walking to see the horses or growing vegetables (which often gets used in lunch!).

Reply from Helen Stride, Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington

Thank you so much for your kind words, we love having the girls with us, they are such a big part of our community!

A fantastic nursery which has helped my son grow and develop into a wonderful toddler. He has learnt skills which I am sure he would not have learnt elsewhere or at home! Everyone is so lovely and the staff have been wonderful in encouraging him.

Thank you! We love having him here with us at Kids Love Nature. We cannot wait to see him grow over the next few years!

from Jonathan D (Father of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My boys are thoroughly enjoying the outdoor space and I love that they are given opportunities throughout each day to explore new interests in a safe and stimulating environment! My wife and I really appreciate the weekly observations and daily posts, with photos, informing us of what they've been up

to. The staff have worked hard to cultivate strong professional relationships with the children. We feel really at ease leaving the boys in their care. They also have a chef to prepare fresh, nutritious meals. And an artist-in-residence who incorporates nature into their art activities. We are looking forward to the allotment opening up and the new gardener starting in March! Kids Love Nature has so much to offer, and we appreciate the love and care our boys have received thus far.

Overall Experience

Absolutely gorgeous setting with the kindest of staff. Amazing farm with farm-to-table eating means our daughter is always learning about where food comes from.
Montessori-led learning, so just a focus on self-led exploration and play which is what we wanted pre-starting school.

Thank you so much, we love having your little one here with us and sharing our knowledge with her.

Review of
Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Marwell Zoo
from G N (Father of Child) published on 14 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both of our children now attend Kids Love Nature at Marwell. We had a great experience with our eldest joining in the older classrooms who settled in so well, so quickly. Our eldest has additional needs, and we cannot thank the nursery enough for how incredibly supportive and knowledgeable they have

been. Our youngest had the chance to start in the baby room a few months ago and is having the time of their life! The setting provides such unique opportunities for the children, and we love that the team show so much care and understanding for each individual child. We both feel so happy to know our children are safe, happy and well looked after at Marwell and couldn't imagine sending them anywhere else. They are always on hand to answer any questions and work so hard to find solutions, even to help at home. The app updates are amazing and are great for sharing photos with family and friends. The managers and team should be so proud of the hard work they put in to make this place the best setting around!

Perfect setting, genuinely caring staff. My son has progressed loads since coming and I cannot rate the nursery enough. The staff are focused on the kids rather than showing off which is one the reasons I love this place. Access to outdoors in all weather and good SEN knowledge all round.

from N E (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This is a wonderful nursery for my son! The staff are incredibly supportive and always happy to give updates/discuss any challenges.
Kids Love Nature does a termly online seminar about various aspects of raising a preschooler, from dealing with difficult emotions to toileting and much more! We've found

this to be very helpful and so worthwhile.
The nursery facilities are wonderful, and although the baby room (0-2) is slightly smaller, it does have its own outdoor area and the younger children go out into the big main garden and mix with the older children, which promotes their development. Not to mention they overlook the giraffes and zebras!
Initially, my son was a bit distressed on drop off, but this was dealt with well and he settled quickly. He's supported to try his best without being pushed into doing activities he doesn't want to do. His feelings are validated and accidents (which have been rare) are discussed with us promptly. We are very happy here, and highly recommend it!

Kids Love Nature is such a brilliant nursery! The staff are amazing and my kids are both so happy there. They have so many unique opportunities there being on the zoo site and with the forest too. They have such a huge garden space, and kids can spend all day outside if they want to.

from Hannah C (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My sons both attend the nursery, one of them in the 0-2 provision, the other in the 2 years + classroom. My oldest child absolutely loves it. He enjoys being outside in all weathers, visiting the zoo and the forest. He learns so much and has developed such a love and curiosity for exploring and discovering

nature. He is also encouraged to develop his communication, independence, literacy and numeracy skills. He settled straight away at 2 years old and continues to love it at 4 years old. My youngest is 1, and has just started. He is taking a while longer to settle but the staff are supporting him with such care, he is getting more confident every session. I couldnt recommend this setting more, it has been the perfect place for my active, sensitive, unique boys.

from G C (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our little one (now 2 and a half) has been coming to Kids Love Nature since September 2021 and it is by far the best nursery I have come across. He is full of excitement, making friends and developing new skills, communication and character every week and this is hugely down to the environment and the

staff here.
I know he is having a well-balanced diet, receiving all the support he needs, as well as a nurturing and loving environment.
Seeing the updates and photos on the app is a joy and seeing him so happy really is everything
We have felt supported through tricky situations with hearing and delayed speech as well as advice which is always welcomed.
I cannot wait for my other little boy to start here and even though we commute an hour each way it is so worth it. Highly recommend to all!

from V M (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The perfect nursery! Our child loves going and is developing into a confident, curious caring person because of them. He's learning about emotions, nature, the world and gets administered cuddles for anxious moments. The ethos of every staff member is loving, calm and caring. Staff are highly skilled

superstars listening, engaging and knowing all the children and parents. Communication is excellent. The spaces are huge natural and beautifully thought out inside and out to be child-centred, foster learning and nurture care and responsibility. Our child loves the freedom to choose to be outside in the garden engaging, exploring and learning. He has learnt so much from the carefully selected and prepared activities and provocations and the way staff lead by example. Food is brilliant and healthy. A home from home (or better, we don't have giraffes, zebras or the staff at home). Every day exceeds our expectations.
Genuinely full of smiles laughter love and respect for all people and nature.

Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Marwell Zoo
from Hayley H (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This nursery is in a league of its own. The staff are incredible, the outdoor space is huge and full of exciting things for the children to explore. They spend lots of time outside and come home covered in mud and full of stories about the adventures of the day. The older children go on regular visits

to the zoo and the nearby forest. They are taught by zoologists and nature interpreters. They do yoga and eat organic freshly cooked pescatarian meals. The garden shares a fence with the zebras and giraffes- it is truly unique!
The staff carefully plan meaningful activities to help children to make progress. They send regular updates through the parent via an app and we have found their communication and care for the children and their families to be exceptional.
Our daughter started here two years ago aged 14 months and she absolutely loves it! She runs down the path and bounces through the door without a look back because she knows that her day will be full of fun and lots of adventures!

from S P (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Could not recommend this nursery highly enough. All the staff are incredible - warm, kind and thoughtful, our twins adore everyone. The communication is fantastic whether via app, email or phone from both the nursery and office staff.
Our twins took time to settle in and every day without fail, all

the staff took their time and gently encouraged and welcomed them without rushing, despite the busy morning drop-offs - now our kids don't want to come home!
They come home with stories of forest walks and zoo visits, telling us everything they've learnt about the animals and how we should behave in nature. The setting is just unreal, full of adventure and innovative activities throughout the year.
The food is freshly prepared every day, full of variety and fresh fruits and veg.
At the end of the day, we get a full rundown of everything they've been up to, there are hugs and smiles and honestly, we couldn't wish for a better place to take our children each day.

Overall Experience

Staff have all been excellent at settling in and communication is brilliant via an app. Lots of amazing outdoor space but also space for them to stay warm inside with a variety of thought through activities everyday. Our little boy started at 11 months and has never been anything other than excited

to attend. Visits to the zoo sound wonderful and happen often as well as use of the forest next to the kindergarten. Highly recommend getting in early to avoid disappointment is all. Food very good with a chef on site. Allergies well catered for.

Review of
Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Marwell Zoo
from Jack W (Father of Child) published on 15 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

From the very beginning, the Kindergarten have been brilliant. The settling in period was dealt with so well by the team and tailored to meet our needs to have a more gradual settling in process for a number of reasons.

Communication is brilliant whether telephoning, emailing or using the parent

App. The management team and the staff in the Panda room are always so helpful.

Every day, we are told of different activities that are so varied and includes plenty of outdoor time and experiences such as sensory.

The food menu is great too - really varied.

Most importantly, can just tell from the way the staff interact with the children, even just at drop off and pick up, how much the staff care about the children and it’s a really caring, nurturing environment where the children are very much up first.

Overall Experience

My daughter started her journey with Kids Love Nature Marwell Zoo last year when she was 2. It was quite difficult at the beginning as she had spent most of her time with me and her dad alone at home due to the Covid19, and not much with anyone else before. But staff at Kids Love Nature have made such

great efforts to brighten my daughter's day and become one of her favourite groups of people in her life. There are always lots of cuddles, warm smiles and loving encouragement each and every day. It's been such a pleasure to see my daughter so fascinated with role play about what's like at Kids Love Nature when she is at home and she'd copy the way her key person organise daily routines etc. In her role play, there're gentle words, a polite manner and so much care involved! I'm so glad that we send our daughter to Kids Love Nature, even it means 20 mins drive each way as we leave in Southampton. Kids Love Nature is definitely the best place for any child. Oh, not even mentioned the huge garden overlooking giraffes and zebras!
