Dunblane Nature Kindergarten

We moved to this nursery last year and my son loves it. He has grown in confidence so much since starting here. The staff are fabulous and take time to really get to know each child as an individual.

This is a great nursery, I can’t get my child home at night as having too much fun! They are outside most days getting involved in lots of different activities. Each room brings its own development for that age group. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Great nursery. In the short time my child has been coming here, I have seen his confidence grow. I love the fact there is lots of outdoor space and the children are provided with lots of opportunities to play and explore, inside and outside.

All 3 of my children (aged 18, 10 and 2) have gone to DNK at some point. I am very grateful for the familiar face of the manager and her cheerful team. This nursery has always had high standards and I have always felt that my children are in safe hands. Clean interior, grubby, natural outdoor play (perfect) and great quality meals.

Nursery staff are extremely friendly and approachable helping whenever they can. We couldn’t do it without Dunblane Nature Kindergarten.

The staff have been great with my little boy, he’s been with you since he was 1 year old and the progress he’s made has been great. They’re always keen to listen to concerns and questions and if they don’t know the answers they find out for you.

This is a fantastic nursery with wonderful staff who go out of their way to encourage and support every child. Our daughter loves attending this nursery and is always learning something new. They strike the perfect balance of adventure and fun, with hands-on learning.

My son has been at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten for 6 months. Like most, he took a while to settle in but during that time he was given lots of support. We always get lots of feedback at the end of the day and the girls try to plan activities around his interests which is lovely to see. He always receives a variety of nutritional home-cooked food. My son now absolutely loves going to nursery and has developed such great bonds. Thank you so much for all your hard work and support!

Dunblane Nature Kindergarten is great because it puts the child in the centre and provides a personalised service to each child. They have a good balance of outdoor/indoor play, learning and development and the staff strive towards building a trusting relationship with the children they care for.

Dunblane Nature Kindergarten has been absolutely incredible for my twins. The staff are just amazing. I'm in awe of them every day. We opted to defer them from school to spend an extra year there as they are getting such great care, nurturing, healthy meals, outdoor time, child-led play and a great variety of activities. The chef is fantastic and has been great at dealing with my daughter's severe milk allergy. She's not had a single reaction there but they also don't single her out or treat her differently due to it. Their key workers are so caring, supportive, understand their individual needs and are great at supporting both the children and the parents! So grateful to Dunblane Nature Kindergarten and the amazing staff for making our lives so much easier!

He is a very outgoing and confident child anyway, but these traits are nurtured and encouraged, as well as many other tools and skills he needs to develop. The staff are kind, interested and enthusiastic and I know my son is getting a wonderful, educational and fun experience in their hands.

Both our children attend Dunblane Nature Kindergarten and have absolutely thrived there. The staff are so kind, thoughtful and professional. The kids are very at ease there and happy. My daughter is about to start primary school and we’re sad she’s leaving her Dunblane Nature Kindergarten early years teachers but she’ll still attend their After School Programme!

My son has attended this nursery since he was just over a year old. I’m sad to say that he is going to school now and although I’m excited about his next move to school. I’m really sad to be leaving the staff at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten, they have been an extension of our family for 4 years now and I’m really going to miss them. My little boy is ready and excited for school and has been given such a great experience at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten, I cannot thank them enough.

My grandson attends this nursery and absolutely loves it and the large amount of time spent outside is ideal for helping burn off some energy! The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. The kids always seem busy and happy when I do drop off/pick up which is lovely.

We’ve found Dunblane Nature Kindergarten to be a very flexible and reliable nursery. The staff are nurturing and the key worker system works well. Meals are of a good variety and catering to dietary requirements are A+. Love the outdoor focus and they have a positive focus on risk enablement. What is particularly great is that they are often changing the areas in the rooms making new creative spaces for the children to learn about and discover new things. It’s a friendly and warm reception every time we drop the girls off.

I absolutely adore this nursery, my little boy has been coming here since September and although is still a little unsure at drop off, settles straight away. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and always plan fantastic activities with plenty of outdoor time.

Dunblane Nature Kindergarten are brilliant. They always do what they can to accommodate and the staff are great with our 2 daughters. The facilities are good and the team are very friendly. We could not recommend them more.

Our one year old loves attending the nursery and has done from the beginning. We first viewed the nursery at the start of the year before starting in August. Although our child started during these unsettling times the staff have made it so easy for us and our child. They are very accommodating with how flexible we need to be with my work commitments and always seem so excited to see our wee one when he arrives. We love the nature aspect of the nursery and the range of activities that they do. The food choices are outstanding and it’s always good to hear how much our wee one eats that day. The staff are really friendly and nothing is ever an issue. We would highly recommend and if we could put our child in every day of the week we would he loves it so much.

We are very happy to have our children in such a great nursery, with amazing people.
