Nothing but positive things to say about Nature Trails. Our daughter is so well cared for, is developing wonderfully there and we have absolute trust in all the team. This is our 3rd child to attend and we have confidently recommended it to others.
Nature Trails is an outstanding nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the experience our daughter has had during her three years there. From the very beginning, the caring and nurturing environment has been something we love most. Our daughter looks forward to going in each day and always leaves with a smile, excited to share all the fun and learning from her day. She has developed strong bonds with her keyworkers and formed close friendships with her peers, all of which have played a vital role in her growth. We've watched her thrive, gaining new skills and growing in confidence every day. The nursery has truly laid the foundation for her future education, fostering a love for learning and curiosity that will serve her well in school.
Fantastic nursery , very beautiful, staff are always helpful and willing to help and help work with you, updates and news is awesome around brilliant nursery, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining this nursery and will be sad for her to leave to start school in September :(
As a single mum starting a new job, navigating the different childcare options and support available was overwhelming. The admin staff were incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making the process much easier. My daughter's first days at nursery were a big transition, but the warm and welcoming staff reassured me that she was in good hands. Now, six months on, she absolutely loves going to nursery every morning, and I've seen such a positive change in her confidence and development. I couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.
Amazing nursery, both my children attend and absolutely love it. The staff and care that they give to the children is faultless. The meals they provide are fresh and healthy and the outdoor areas are so lovely. It is like a home from home for my little ones.
We chose the nursery based on the emphasis of the kids spending much time outdoors and they have great facilities to keep kids engaged and excited to be outside.
My son has been at nature trails for over two years now and loves coming to nursery each day. He's always in a rush to get to his room. He's has built strong bonds with all the staff in all of the rooms he's been in. There's always lovely activities out that peak his interest and keeps him engaged. The outdoor spaces are amazing and well kept too. My son loves the food he has at nursery and always eats well.
My son is currently at the setting. He is thriving. He has the most amazing bonds with all the adults involved with his care and he has great friendships with the peers in his room. I love the nursery and have picked the best place for my son to learn and develop in all areas.
My son eats most of his meals and he always seems to have a great variety of food. He sleeps well at nursery too which shows that he is comfortable there.
My son comes home with artwork that he has created which is lovely.
Each day when I pick him up, the girls in his room always give me a thorough handover of what he has been doing which is great to know all about his day when I have been missing him at work.
Could do with a few more updates on the app, multiple updates a day when they are babies but drops to once a week or every other week by preschool. Staff are always happy to discuss child's day/progress at pick up and drop off.
Overall a lovely environment, which encourages children to learn, play and grow their confidence and independence.
Our twin daughter's have thrived at Nature Trails. They have benefitted from consistently excellent care and support throughout the phases, tailored to meet their development needs. As parents, we have enjoyed strong relationships, with staff who have always been clear, approachable and supportive. We thoroughly recommend Nature Trails as a place for all children to thrive.
We finished over 4 and a half years with Nature Trails between two children. We couldn't have asked for more in terms of peace of mind and positive impact that's been made on our children. We'll be forever grateful!
My eldest attended Nature Trails 2020-2022 and is still greeted like she never left, interacting with staff when collecting her younger sister today. Highly recommended.
Over the moon with the care my daughter has had since joining Bumbeblees two. I was very anxious for her to start nursery but they have been nothing but reassuring to both me and my daughter. Her key person has been amazing and my daughter now asks to come and see her. The nursery has also met all of her complex dietary needs which is a huge relief.
I recommend this nursery, best teacher/mentor joyful people, always smiling. They have set curricular from year 1 to year 4, they prepare kids and make it very easy for them to adjust in school.
Whilst it is still very early days for our child to be at the nursery, we’d like to take the opportunity to say thank You to all of the staff, as so far everyone has been great, from the very beginning with the introductory meeting and settling in sessions, right up to now, we couldn't have felt any more welcome.
Now that our child has started, they predominantly spend their time with nursery ladies, who have both been absolutely wonderful. They’ve taken the time to get to know our little ones, to create a welcoming and settling environment for them, and to make sure we as parents are kept fully informed with updates both via the app and also upon each collection, which really puts our minds at ease, so a particularly special mention and extended thank you, to both of those!
I'd just like to thank everyone in Ladybirds for how amazing they are with my son, he's really flourishing in himself. Also, I really appreciate the time taken to talk through his day with us at pick-up, it's really reassuring and great to get that feedback.
The team has gone above and beyond to ensure our routine is carried out each day and in a really supportive way. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and would recommend it to anyone considering it.
Both my children flourished at Nature Trails! They are confident and happy when there and have made really good relationships with all members of staff. We love the outdoor space and free-flow opportunities in them.
An amazing nursery that we couldn't be happier we chose for our children. Our two girls have flourished under the nurturing care given by the staff and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. If you can you should send your children here! Our eldest has just left to go to school having spent her entire nursery time here. She has been cared for as an individual throughout. She has thrived and is ready to start school, all thanks to the staff at Nature Trails.

Vicky is the Manager of Nature Trails Day Nursery in Cawston and has a wealth of experience, having worked in the early years sector since 1997. Vicky has a number of qualifications, including a BA (Hons) in Early Years and Early Years Professional Status. Nature Trails has been part of Childbase Partnership since 2018, yet Vicky has worked at the setting since 2006.
My favourite features of the nursery are not only the extensive outdoor space we have to offer but also that we have been able to maintain the personal touch and family feel that Nature Trails has always had.
I am most proud of how the nursery has grown and become a part of the Childbase family and that our colleagues take such pride in their work and the company ethos.
