Its a beautiful setting and there're lots of activities for little ones whether it be, frequent visits to the farm or helping out in the vegetable garden and Martin does a wonderful job maintaining it, which is brilliant and resourceful.
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
He has been so much fun to have with us. He takes in so much information and has a real thirst for knowledge. He will be missed and we wish you the best for the future. Thank you for your kind words.
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.
Hello, thank you so much for your kind words. Your children have been a delight and have always had interesting and funny stories to tell us.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. All your children have been great fun to have with us. Its been amazing to watch them grow.
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.
Its been amazing to watch your son grow and develop. He is a sociable and creative child who is a joy to have.
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.
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!).
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!
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.
Lovely nursery. Very caring and attentive staff. My daughter is learning so many skills. We absolutely love the outside aspect of this setting. She gets to explore so much more than an ordinary setting. She is always happy to go in and very happy coming out. Excellent communication from staff, they are very good with posting on the online learning journal.
Thank you so much for your glowing review, we are so pleased your daughter is enjoying all our outdoor spaces we have to offer and that she is happy and settled. We are also pleased to hear that you are enjoying the online learning journal updates. Best wishes, Felicity.
We chose KLN Lymington for a number of reasons and have always been impressed with their level of care, kindness and professionalism towards both our children and ourselves as parents. The time our children spend outdoors, the activities they run out to tell us about at the end of the day, the art, the reading, the cooking, the creative play, the food, the farm, the animals, the monkey bars! Above all though, the staff goes above and beyond every single day making every single child feel heard, loved and respected. Our eldest recently left to head to his next adventure at 'big' school and both our son and our daughter have gained stronger emotional resilience through the work staff do around feelings too. Couldn't recommend KLN highly enough!
Thank you so much for your kind review. We've loved having your children here with us, and we're so pleased our approach shines through. Best wishes.
Such a wonderful nursery that both of my children attended. A fantastic setting with excellent outdoor space and facilities. The staff are all so kind, caring and compassionate, and the way they support the children development is second to none. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for your lovely review; we've loved having both of your children here with us, and we wish you all the best for the future. Best wishes.
This is the most wonderful Kindergarten for little ones you could hope to find in the area. The space is beautiful and so much care and thought goes into a truly incredible learning environment. My little girl has been loved and nurtured from her first day and she comes home singing about all the friends she has made. The warmth and kindness of the staff is what makes the Kindergarten shine. I feel so reassured as a parent that my little girl is in the best place she could possibly be at such a formative time. Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington is a truly special place and we feel very lucky as parents to have found it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such a glowing review, we are so very pleased that your child and yourselves as parents love what we do and feel the warmth and love that we provide all our children and families with. Thank you.
This is a fantastic kindergarten, and I would definitely recommend it. My son and daughter have been attending since February 2020, communication was excellent all through the lockdown, and when they started back, I felt very confident about their Covid-19 protocols. They have built a good relationship with the teachers and peers. They learn something new every day, and I love that they play outside in the fresh air every day, all day sometimes!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are pleased to hear you are happy with our communication and COVID19 procedures. We love being outdoors with the children.
We moved from Australia and Kids Love Nature has been the best thing for our son to settle in the UK. I can’t thank the teachers enough for making him feel so safe. The outdoor space, little farm and spacious interior are great! The teachers have done a tremendous job making the kindergarten COVID safe with keeping the element of fun!
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review. We absolutely love having your son at our Kindergarten and we are pleased you have settled in so quickly and are happy with our service.
We love this nursery. The staff are all warm, kind and friendly. And they work so hard, every week they come up with new activities for the kids. The setting is brilliant, you’ve got great outdoor space, and also the indoor area is perfect, open plan and packed with things to do. I really like the way our kids can choose whether they want to be inside or outside. The nursery also really includes the parents - watching our kids sing Christmas songs at the annual Christmas party is a real highlight. Highly recommend a visit to the nursery so you can see all the above first hand.
Thank you for such lovely feedback, we love having your children here too.
Whilst there is a great emphasis on fostering independence, the staff are kind and nurturing, and form close bonds with the children in their care. The wonderful outdoor facilities and immersion in nature are just what we wanted for our children at this pre-school age, and it is so refreshing to see the children chasing each other around in the garden and making mud pies, swinging on the monkey bars or watching the birds, rather than playing with plastic ride-on toys or noisy battery-operated instruments (none of which are in evidence).
When the children are ready to do some 'learning' in preparation for school, they are encouraged with this, at their own pace. Children socialise in mixed age groups, which leads to healthy, confident and resilient children who are well prepared for starting school.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It has been an absolute pleasure watching your girls grow into confident and independent children. We wish you all the best for the future.
I have my 2-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter here and I couldn't be more pleased with their placements. They are both outdoors led children and this setting was perfect for them. The woods, the farm (with pigs and chickens) and the fun outdoor spaces (my son is obsessed with the mud kitchen) are just perfect for them. The staff are so helpful and nurturing. Both my children love going and have made great friends there. I have already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so. So pleased.
Thank you for your kind words, we love having your little ones here with us too.
Brilliant, nurturing environment for the children to learn to become independent in everyday skills and to become confident with their own decisions. The free-flow atmosphere encourages them to learn to focus without being pushed into activities. Our 3 children have thrived here and taken the experience on to shape their early years at 'big' school.
My daughter loves going to school, she seems to make friends well there and loves all the staff. She has learnt a lot, both personal and practical skills. I think an education that includes so much independence will stand her in good stead in later life.
Thank you for your kind words and support.
Supportive staff members who are able to pick up specific areas in which they can help your child's development e.g. speech, and then able to see the follow through from this.
Children aged 2-5 all under one roof, so able to learn skills and empathy from having different aged children to play with.
All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to parents wanting a nature style nursery.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we are pleased to hear you are happy with our current practice.
