Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington, situated in the stunning New Forest and just 5 minutes drive from the centre of Lymington, has been rated 'outstanding' on three consecutive inspections.

Located in the former Victorian village hall of South Baddesley, the wonderfully dedicated and caring team make everyday extraordinary for the children.

This picturesque outdoor kindergarten combines beautiful classrooms, a kitchen, a delightful garden area and its own organic children’s farm. It also has its very own woodland.

The visiting artist supports the creation of masterpieces and the children help prepare the organic home-cooked lunch and snacks with the kindergarten cook.

Children's learning adventures continue into the garden and farm where they help look after the chickens and work on the vegetable garden. They even help cook bread and pizza in the cob oven!

The kindergartens dedicated woodland is just a few minutes walk away and here the children connect to nature, building dens, climbing trees and making popcorn over the small fire pit.

Review from Judith (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a huge fan of the concept of the Children's Nature Nursery and our son not only has great fun there, he learns so much about nature, caring for animals, growing vegetables, cooking what you've grown etc. as well as how to count, read, write and draw. The children are free to use their imagination
and so even the smallest picture or craft item is enthusiastically encouraged. The staff are excellent and so caring with the children and seem to make each trip to the woods extra special, e.g. just thinking to take a hammock one day in the summer, resulted in great fun for all the children. Our son goes in happily and comes out tired and happy which is fantastic.
Reply from Felicity Warriner, Nursery Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at LymingtonThank you for your kind words, great to hear you're a fan of the Kids Love Nature concept.

Review from Riikka (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl loves going to nursery and looks forward to it every week. She has learned and developed so much whilst at the nursery and this has been great to see through pictures and comments in tapestry. The teachers are all really skilled, caring and I could not be happier for her to learn social
skills and emotional development in this environment.
Reply from Felicity Warriner, Nursery Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at LymingtonThank you Riikka for your lovely review, it is very much appreciated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended nature nursery until he started school in September 2016. He loved going there and spending his days playing outside in the playground, nearby woods and especially on the farm! He always talked about the chickens and how he helped to look after them.
When we had concerns about his
development, the staff at the nursery took it very seriously and arranged one to one meetings with us to address the issues. When my daughter is two, I am hoping she can start at the nursery too and benefit from the lovely surroundings the nursery offers.
Reply from Felicity Warriner, Nursery Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at LymingtonThank you Päivi for your kind words, we will look forward to seeing you soon.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.407)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.407) out of 10 for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.407 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lymington is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 number of registered child places is 7. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.857
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
