Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
Fantastic nursery! The staff are all so lovely and welcoming and know the children and parents by name which is really nice. My little one has settled in really well and is absolutely thriving! He loves going in each day and the activities that he gets to do. I like getting the updates of what he’s been up to throughout the day on the app too.

Everyone is super friendly. Staff recognise all the parents and interact at every opportunity. Our little girl enjoys her time there and the girls that look after her really care. They have been great with her allergies.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
The manager has been nothing but helpful since we enquired about the nursery. Our daughter has multiple allergies and this is something I have been very anxious about with leaving her with family etc, yet I have zero anxieties about leaving her in the nursery’s care regarding food.
I have not got a negative word to say about the nursery at all. Whenever our daughter is brought out at the end of her session I can see just how happy and comfortable she is in their care
10 out of 10, I tell literally everyone I know looking for a nursery about Dundee Nature Kindergarten!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
We speak in our native language at home and never taught him English. Everyone at nursery has been so kind and wonderful that he seems to be naturally mixing with everyone despite the language barrier. In fact, he has been speaking English well nowadays.
Overall, I feel that I have taken the best decision for choosing this nursery for my son.

The staff and management are lovely, the rooms and outdoor space are excellent.
Both of my kids have thrived and loved their time here.

My daughter has been attending since March 2022, all the staff have been amazing. My daughter is happy and smiling when she is with the staff. I love seeing her “moments” throughout the day. Great meals and facilities for the children too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
I cannot fault this nursery. The facilities are fantastic, especially outdoors, and the staff are incredible. My daughter has now moved into her third room and I keep thinking she has met the best staff to care for her and then she moves and we meet more fantastic individuals. They all care so much for the children and she thrives when she is there. My daughter is genuinely excited to go to nursery in the morning and I'm not sure that can often be said by parents when taking their children to nursery. I am reluctant to move her to school nursery to meet her future peers because she is so happy here and so settled. Credit to them that this is the position I am in. Well done to the manager and her incredible team!

My daughter has been attending the nursery now since April 2020, as I am a key worker, so started in the middle of the pandemic which was a bit daunting for me. But everyone has been amazing and continues to be so supportive since day one. She’s recently progressed into the next room and continues to thrive. All staff are so attentive and, as parents, you are kept up to date at every opportunity if anything arises. We, as a family, are so grateful for everything they do. Great nursery.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
Our daughter started early 2021 and we cannot say enough good things about this place. Everyone is so friendly, my daughter absolutely loves all the staff and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Very accommodating. I wouldn’t have her anywhere else. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
My daughter has been here since she was 1-year and has thrived! She looks forward to going to nursery, talks positively about her friends, staff and the activities she does. One of the reasons we choose this nursery was because of their large garden which she is out in as often as possible and their encouragement of 'risk play'. I firmly believe this is why my daughter is so willing to try new experiences as well as being resilient to when things don't go right. Staff and management are wonderful. Best choice we made for our daughter.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
All the staff are so approachable, friendly and are very child-centred. The environment inside and garden space are amazing and they even have a nursery pet. Excellent management and guidance for staff with the meals and snacks being fresh and cooked on site. Can't recommend this nursery highly enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
The staff are wonderful, really caring and informative about what’s been happening that day. My son loves nursery and I’m so pleased he has such an engaging and lovely nursery to go to. He always eats loads of the lunch too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. Kind regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
I have used this nursery for the last five years for two of my children and plan on using it for my third. All the staff are fantastic and make the children feel welcome and safe. The nursery environment is amazing, especially the outdoor space which is like no other nursery in Dundee. Management have always got time to address concerns, answer questions or provide help and advice.

Every morning they greet him by his name and make a big deal and I know he loves going.
They keep me updated on everything and I'm 100% confident he is well looked after.

Superb nursery. I have recently moved my daughter from another nursery and I honestly feel that the care here is second to none. The children are treated like their own. The management team are beyond amazing and there for you every step of the way. When I moved my daughter from the previous nursery there were concerns about her being affected by her experiences and the management team assured me that she would be well looked after and would be fine in time. They have since monitored her, supported her, kept in constant contact with me and together the whole team have been there for her helping her grow and overcome any concerns that she had and now she is a much happier, confident little girl with nothing holding her back. From the morning welcome to the end of day updates, the facilities, the learning, the list is endless. I can go to work with the peace of mind that my little girl is well looked after and so happy to be there. That means everything. Cannot thank the team enough.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us your feedback; we really appreciate it and are delighted your daughter is happy with us.
Brilliant nursery. Staff are engaged and attentive. Management is kind, communicative and very professional. Facilities are excellent and I love the outdoor area and purpose-built interior design/layout. Food is excellent and my daughter tells me my food isn't as good as nursery! Fantastic job manager and team - you're amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! We are delighted to hear that your daughter is enjoying her time at nursery and we will be sure to pass on your comments to the team. Kind Regards, Thrive Childcare.
Dundee Nature Kindergarten has been fantastic for my older son. He is excited to go to nursery every morning and loves the messy playroom and the mud patch outdoors. More recently he has made new friends and enjoys playing with them regularly. The nursery has been all-around fantastic for him throughout his time there, and it has been amazing to watch him grow and open up. I am thrilled and grateful that he is part of this fantastic environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dundee Nature Kindergarten. My second son is getting ready to join it too.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, your kind words are much appreciated! Kind Regards, Thrive Childcare.
My kids love Dundee Nature Kindergarten. They are always warmly welcomed. I always get a good run down of their day and they have a good ethos which aligns with how we parent at home. The kids have access to a lot of learning materials and skills.
Both of my children started at Dundee Nature Kindergarten in October 2020 and we cannot be happier with the nursery. The level of detailed attention and bespoke care is amazing. The managers and the entire staff are amazing and always available for a chat. Our kids get to spend so much time outside in fabulous, natural gardens and learn hands-on with activities such as growing radishes, caring for pets (tortoise and stick bugs alike), problem solve with peers, building in the spare parts or cooking in the mud kitchens. Both of our kids have a great bond with their key workers and our 4-year-old is always excited to give a detailed report of his and his little sister's day over dinner. My kids' development has come on leaps and bounds since moving to this nursery, I cannot recommend enough.
