Review from Deana S (Grandmother of Child) published on 13 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a 'nanny' when my first grandchild was starting nursery I was very anxious. I felt a great sense of relief when my grandaughter came home from nursery and reported that she ' liked someone there' very much. I thought at first it must be one of the other children but Not so. It turns out she is the
cook! And that was the start, my grandaughter loves naturally learning, what a great team they have and what passion and drive. I love the App and it is pretty obvious from the enthusiasm of the children and the posts that it would be hard to match what Charlestown offer. Thank you all.

A very friendly nursery with great communication from all the staff. The children learn so much through their own discoveries and develop at their own pace. The outdoor Forest and Beach Schools enhance the children's learning and development. I always thought that a preschool had to be attached to
a school for children to receive such a high level of teaching but Naturally Learning has shown me otherwise. Not only does my child learn fantastic things but its all set at a pace that is right for them.

Amazing nursery, incredible staff. My child loves it here and I am one happy mum. Being only a baby I was anxious about them starting but the manager and team were so reassuring and have such a depth of knowledge, especially about the little ones. I love that the babies and toddlers have their own special
garden to explore in safely as well as getting to go on trips to the woods and the beach too.

We are so pleased with the nursery and the fantastic experiences both our children have had here. They are outside in all weathers, they come home filthy and beaming from ear to ear. Care is very good and any issues we have had have been sorted out straight away.Highly recommend!

Review from Iisha W (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Naturally Learning Charlestown has provided wonderful and inspiring experiences for my son. His early years have been spent (amongst so many other things) running around in the magical woods, climbing trees, making houses for mini beasts or fairies, or exploring the wonders of the beach. He has also
spent quieter sociable times sat by the fire with a snack (perhaps popcorn or apple slices cooked over the fire) and a hot chocolate, listening to stories or discussing the finer points of endothermic and exothermic reactions!
My son absolutely loves going to nursery. He is learning so much by being allowed to explore, have fun and ask questions at his own pace, and all with excellent input and responses from enthusiastic and highly qualified staff. I am forever indebted to NLC for giving my son an amazing start to his personal and educational development.

Naturally Learning Charlestown has been a home away from home for my girls. They love coming here and learn so much! (They're even teaching me a thing or two). They forage for wild ingredients to cook on an open fire in their own magical woods. They walk down to Charlestown beach to explore the rock
pools. They learn such an array of amazing things and all at their pace, all of their learning comes from what the children are really excited by, it's incredible! They have more qualified teachers in the building than I have ever seen in any other nursery or Reception class for that matter! From the management to the apprentices, they all seem so enthusiastic and passionate and it really rubs off on my girls.

Very impressed with the nursery. Exactly what we were after when leaving our 2 year old for the first time. Staff were extremely caring and nurturing. Fast forward to a 3 year old who now cannot wait to go when it's nursery day!!

My grandson loves going to nursery and particularly loves the fantastic woodland. He always talks about climbing trees and toasting marshmallows on the fire. The staff are lovely and really care for him. I love the fact that they have qualified teachers working inside and in the woods, he has learnt
so much and is becoming so independent. A really lovely place!

My daughter has attended this nursery since January 2017 and I can not speak more highly of it as a whole.
Every day she goes in happy and ready to explore and comes home full of excitement, covered in mud, and bursting with stories to tell us from her day.
She loves forest school - which happens
regularly through the week and walking down to the beach. She has made a lovely group of friends and speaks very fondly of the teachers!
I think come September when she starts school, she will be quite sad to leave.

My daughter is extremely happy at nursery. She looks forward to seeing both the staff and her friends. The nursery is lucky enough to have its own woods and be close enough to walk to the beach, both of which my daughter loves. The food is freshly cooked daily and is an amazing variety, my daughter
is usually fussy but eats all kinds of different food when at the nursery. The nursery has recently been re-decorated and has a clean and modern look. My daughter won’t be happy when it’s time to leave here to go to school!

The nursery is so lovely and all the staff are brilliant! They have forest and beach school available every day. My son loves it particularly in the forest with a fire. All the food is lovely fresh and cooked on site too.

I love this nursery. My daughter is so incredibly happy here, she has been in Naturally Learning Charlestown since she was a baby and has grown into a very intelligent and confident young lady.
The staff are amazing and the learning is second to none. My daughter learns more here than her friends
do at other Pre Schools. I love that they have qualified teachers leading the learning and the manager is always on hand to help out.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest child goes here, I wish that my two eldest went here as I feel like they missed out on a brilliant experience. It’s not like your average nursery. There’s more focus on your child exploring the outdoors and getting very dirty from jumping in muddy puddles and playing in rock pools at the
beach.They learn how to make, use, play with nature.


My son has come back recognising numbers, how to interact, share show compassion with other children and more. Great members of staff that are friendly, always give me a rundown of his day and how he’s been. They play with him, make him laugh, teach him, support him and they care. They’re not worried to pick my child up and give him a cuddle if he’s upset or set his boundaries when needed.


The food is healthy, my child can be quite fussy but they have a good selection and there’s always something he will like. The cook is brilliant. They always have some new innovative ideas to use in the setting and I recommend wholeheartedly.

Whenever I collect my nephew, I am overwhelmed by the love and attention the staff show him. Their knowledge of his day's activities is thorough and comprehensive and clearly shows that he has been shown consistent attention.
I was thrilled to experience the children being taught outdoor skills in
the large and wild forest school site attached to the nursery and can see that he is benefiting greatly from the influence of both male and female leads from the teaching and caring staff.
All in all a great place and now it is undergoing a facelift, it will soon be even better.
