Day Nurseries Owned by Outdoor Owls Ltd

independence, encouraging children to take on challenges at their own pace while feeling completely supported.

There is always a fantastic variety of activities and skills to try, all enjoyed in the fresh air. From imaginative play to practical outdoor learning, every session feels purposeful, engaging, and joyful.

A beautiful place for children to learn, thrive, and connect with nature. Highly recommended!

shown exceptional kindness, patience, and understanding toward her needs. They take the time to communicate clearly with her, use supportive strategies, and include her in every activity with so much thoughtfulness.

we've seen has been incredible - together with his friends he's constantly dreaming up imaginative adventures and creative ways to incorporate play, without the need for actual toys.

The teachers are all genuinely lovely, caring, and attentive. You can feel how much they value each child. The activities they organise are both entertaining and refreshingly down-to-earth, teaching real-life skills in a natural, hands-on way that you just don't find anywhere else. A huge bonus is that he hasn't been ill once since he started!

We couldn't be happier with Outdoor Owls and wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a nursery. I wish they had an adult version!

to ensure we are aligned at home and at nursery. I just wish they continued to provide facilities for school years too!! Special mention re their focus on nutrition and healthy eating too - their menus are excellent and varied.

feels safe, supported, and encouraged to explore.

The team are fantastic at keeping the children engaged all day with a wide range of outdoor activities. I'm always impressed by how much my son learns while having so much fun! They do an excellent job teaching the children boundaries and respect for nature, while still allowing them the freedom to play, imagine, and discover.

It's such a joy to see how much confidence and independence my son has gained since joining. We feel very lucky to have found such a special place - I couldn't recommend this forest school highly enough!

the pickups and drop offs are seamless, probably the best catering out there (cooked from scratch, nothing processed, sustainable kitchen practices), being surrounded by nature all day and all the good it does for the nervous system, the other kids are all so well adjusted and happy too (which speaks for itself). I could go on. Ultimately, do one of the camp visits and feel/see it for yourself. I honestly have no idea how it's not oversubscribed, not sure if people are hesitant bc of the fact that it's a forest/outdoors which is a bit different for UK but I couldn't imagine sending my little one to an indoor/classroom environment having now experienced the Owls!

and content the children are when they return from their day at Outdoor Owls. A big thank you to the entire team for their dedication which makes this possible!

with the nurture and care the team have given. Couldn't recommend enough!

it's a struggle to get our son to leave at pick-up time, likely because of the energy and enthusiasm of all the team. We have a great relationship with all the teachers, who remain relentlessly positive come rain, wind, snow or shine, and have made it their mission to make our son as comfortable as possible. We've noticed a significant change in his demeanour, confidence and speech since he started and couldn't recommend Outdoor Owls more highly

hope for in early years educators. They understand the unique needs of every child. The environment is healthy and wholesome, with a strong emphasis on adventure and the outdoors, which we absolutely love.
It's been wonderful to see our daughter grow in confidence and independence, and to develop such a genuine appreciation for the natural world. She is happy (and often excited) to go off each morning, which speaks volumes about the warmth and positivity of the setting. Thank you to the whole team for nurturing our children so well and for doing what you do, we are eternally grateful! We can't wait for our son to start in a few months. We often say we wish we could come to OO too :)

child's growth. Our daughter is thriving and learning so much every day, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful space for our children to explore, imagine, and learn. Your hard work and commitment make a world of difference!

we were blown away by what we witnessed and could not wait to send our youngest child of four there. Now two months in, it has certainly met and surpassed our expectations. The staff are so motivated to do the job, they care so much about the children and the standards they set for independence and growth are so positive and rewarding for the little man. He is absolutely loving it. We really wanted him to get more active, more independent and understand the role of nature in learning and development and this could not be a better fit for him. We are telling everybody about it.

for that camaraderie, rough'n'tumble and unity that we used to have as kids.
I always feel she's very well looked after, the staff are always open to feedback, and they hold space for any concerns I have. By that I mean any phases that Willow is going through that I may find challenging. I find them very supportive and above and beyond.
Don't hesitate!

on a non-nursery day, she asks if she's going to OO and gets very upset when we say "Not today".

She rarely gets ill as the children are mostly outside, she talks fondly of all the teachers, eats well, looks very happy at the end of the day, and shows so much confidence. She comes back filthy, covered in dirt, twigs in her hair, and a big smile. Her dertailed nursery reports show how incredibly well they know.

A favourite detail of ours - how we know we chose the right place - is that when walking around, she is constantly searching for sticks and rocks and climbing everything she can and using her imagination. Outdoor Owls gives children back the childhood that we got to have.

interest as our eldest, who didn't attend OO, is quite different.
Not only do the kids become resilient, fit and healthy from their outdoor adventures, but the incredible, well-trained staff ensure that their emotional and social skills are being developed simultaneously. They learn all of the life skills that children their age should be learning to find their way in the world, just in context of mucky outdoor play. Perfect! Our son is ready and excited for school in September as a result of the nurturing care and professional attention he has received at the Outdoor Owls nursery and we're beyond grateful.

forward to going in the mornings and are buzzing when we collect them in the afternoon.
For children, especially urban children, to have the opportunity to spend so much time outside during these formative years is fantastic.

home. Their enabling and natural environment has helped my daughter to develop physically and emotionally. I feel that she is more resilient now and more curious about her surroundings. The staff are the winner in Outdoor Owls.
