KLN Wickham is a very nurturing nursery with caring staff who create a safe and engaging environment. They are supportive not only to the children but parents too and ensure excellent communication. We have total peace of mind whilst our child is in nursery and that counts for a lot. Our child has grown
in confidence and enjoys the variety of activities each day, it's great they are an advocate for outdoor learning. We are so grateful to their particular attention and care towards our child's specific needs, often being flexible in their approach to ensure safety and wellbeing. Overall, a lovely place and very much recommended.

We immediately got a good feeling from the team on our first visit and since starting at the kindergarten, we continue our o feel very lucky that our child gets to participate in a friendly, kind and nurturing environment. The daily activities seem thoughtfully planned out, wonderful caring team and
our child seems to absolutely love being there.

We had a tough time choosing between two nurseries. A year on, we say almost every week how glad we are that we chose KLN. The staff are brilliant. Attentive, nurturing and fun. They get to know each child as an individual and there is a big family feel, with teachers not just knowing the children in
their class but the younger children too. This familiarity is so helpful for children transitioning through the classes. Meals are prepared fresh daily by the in house chef, often with ingredients picked from the allotment and children helping, and catering for allergies. Outdoor time is prioritised and when children are indoors a variety of learning materials and activities are set up for them to keep them entertained and encourage their learning and development. Curiosity, self-determination and independence are encouraged and the children have secure attachments that allow them to make the most of these opportunities. Thank you, everyone, we are so glad to have found you!

Kids Love Nature- Wickham is a fantastic facility. The staff are brilliant and always so welcoming and supportive.
As a first time mum, finding a nursery was quite daunting but I had no doubts with KLN that my son would be well looked after and have fun every day. He has made great progress throughout
his time so far and the daily updates we receive are amazing and we love reading them with him at the end of the day.
Reply from Poppy Jordan, Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at WickhamThank you so much for your lovely review and kind words! It has been a pleasure to welcome your family to Kids Love Nature and we look forward to sharing more of the fun and adventures he has during his time with us at Wickham.

This is really great place for children to develop their connection with surrounding world. Nursery has a huge allotment, where kids can play, but also help cultivating plants with nursery gardener. On top of it, there is a forser around were childred go for a walk and little farm of chickens which
kids love.
They have their own cook, which is great as meals are always fresh and prepared from veggies grown in the allotment.
Lovely place, wish my daughter could stay one more year here! :)

We absolutely love this nursery. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, and it's clear how much they care about the children. Isabella feels so relaxed there and really thrives from all the daily activities.


She sleeps well, eats well, and is always happy when she's there. It's been amazing

to see how brilliantly she is doing and how well she settled in when she first started. We couldn't be happier with the care and support she receives.

My son has attended Kids love nature Wickham for just under 2 years after moving from a different nursery. Since starting at Wickham he has truly thrived! I believe this is down to the nurturing team that provide such wonderful opportunities that aren't offered at every nursery. Being such an outdoorsy
boy the different environments offered has really suited him and he has learnt so much. Especially after spending time with the gardener at the allotment and at their onsite nature school. He is very settled, made lots of friends and finds nursery days very exciting. I'm most satisfied with his care and know he is with the most caring and attentive team!
Reply from Poppy Jordan, Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at WickhamThank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased to have your family a part of Kids Love Nature at Wickham and hope your child enjoys many more fun sessions in our Nature School and Allotment!

My daughter has been going for almost 3 years and is absolutely thriving. She comes home chatting non stop about nature school, what foods they picked from the allotments and what snacks they made that day. She spends 90% of her time outside, the settings are beautiful and honestly feel like we're giving
her the best start

My daughter loves the nursery, she made so many friends there.
The nursery offers loads of different activities each day, keeping kids focus and learning new skills. She has learned loads about the nature and world around here.
The nursery is focus on a lot of outside play, which my daughter loves.

I can't thank Kids Love Nature Wickham enough for the amazing experience my boys have had. They absolutely loved attending and came home each day excited to share what they had learned and explored. The outdoor program sparked their curiosity and creativity in ways I hadn't imagined.
The staff are
fantastic and communicate regularly with us, keeping us informed on our children's progress and activities. I always felt confident that my kids were in safe, caring hands. It's clear the team is genuinely invested in their personal growth and development, and I've seen my boys become more independent, confident, and passionate about nature.
I'm so grateful to Kids Love Nature Wickham for everything they've done. They've truly made a positive impact on my children's lives, and I couldn't be more thankful.

My boys are thoroughly enjoying the outdoor space and I love that they are given opportunities throughout each day to explore new interests in a safe and stimulating environment! My wife and I really appreciate the weekly observations and daily posts, with photos, informing us of what they've been up
to. The staff have worked hard to cultivate strong professional relationships with the children. We feel really at ease leaving the boys in their care. They also have a chef to prepare fresh, nutritious meals. And an artist-in-residence who incorporates nature into their art activities. We are looking forward to the allotment opening up and the new gardener starting in March! Kids Love Nature has so much to offer, and we appreciate the love and care our boys have received thus far.

My Sons both attended Wickham Montessori Nursery School. The staff interaction with my children and us as Parents have been of the highest Standard. The school as a whole is friendly and always upbeat and positive. Both of my children’s development has been excellent and the range of activities available
is extensive. Our children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at Wickham Montessori and we will be extremely sad not to be coming anymore. Thank you all for the care you have taken and for the lovely end of preschool graduation.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.499)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.499) out of 10 for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Wickham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.916 for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Wickham is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.916
  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 4.583 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Wickham is based on 10 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.833
  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.
