Review from C H (Father of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are all amazing and caring people, the activities the kids get up to sound great fun. Our child is always eager to go to nursery, visit the allotment and play with their friends. We hear stories about yoga, gardening, and painting. They take photos and give regular updates on what the children are doing. Overall this has been a great experience and we're glad we chose them.

Reply from Jordan Macher, Kindergarten Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

Review from Alexander J (Father of Child) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My baby has been attending since September last year. Ever since my daughter has been going to KLN I can see that she is thriving. She is only 16 months currently but loves her key worker so much that she often wants to stay at nursery with her teacher. The washload a day is a small price to pay for the experience she gets at the allotments. Photos have been sent home multiple times of her covered head to toe in mud which is exactly how she should be experiencing childhood. Thanks everyone

Reply from Jordan Macher, Kindergarten Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

Thankyou Alexander! It's so lovely to see how much your daughter loves it here- and she certainly does love covering herself in mud- haha!

Overall Experience

Just an amazing team who care for our children wonderfully! We have had 2 children at the nursery and honestly could not rave about the team enough. So approachable, child centred approaches with an emphasis on play which has been fantastic for my kids development! I also most importantly feel that my child is SAFE in their care!

Reply from Jordan Macher, Kindergarten Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

Thankyou for leaving these lovely words. We have been lucky to see both of your children grow and thrive whilst here, and feel grateful we still get to see your eldest too- I love the stories he brings us from school!

Can't praise KLN enough for its friendly staff and wonderful outdoor space encouraging children's love of nature and exploring. Our little girl has grown so much in confidence since starting and we always pick her up with a smile on her face.

Review from Daisy B (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Kids Love Nature in November and, after an initial settling in period, has really thrived there. She is able to access a wonderful balance of allotment/garden/art/yoga/stories/learning activities. The communication with the staff is excellent and all questions are answered promptly and clearly. The opportunities for parents to visit on family days is also really nice. We are very happy!

Reply from Jordan Macher, Kindergarten Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

Thanks Daisy for taking the time to leave a review. Your daughter does love particularly love the yoga here, and baking too! We look forward to seeing you all at our next family day in April.

Overall Experience
Amazing. My daughter really enjoys herself and staff really help with her development. Staff are attentive and she says they are her friends which is a great view for her to have.

Weakness. Report should be daily. Bi weekly is not good enough for this age group.

Reply from Jordan Macher, Kindergarten Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that your daughter enjoys her time with the team and feels comfortable with the staff - that's lovely to hear. We also appreciate your comments about communication; parent feedback like this is important to us and helps us continue improving across all areas of what we do.

Review from Kelly-Ann L (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is absolutely fantastic. My daughter, who is now in school, still talks about her time at nursery and wishes she could go back! The staff are amazing with the children, building genuine connections that show through each interaction. For example when picking my son up, they all talk to my daughter, asking how she's doing and she loves to keep in touch with them. They keep parents well informed on your child's development, any concerns they have and help give advice when parents have concerns themselves. The management are very approachable, friendly and kind to both the children and parents. Both my children love(d) this nursery, and I couldnt have wished for a better setting for them!

Reply from Jordan Macher, Kindergarten Manager at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

This is such a lovely review to read, Thankyou for taking the time to write such kind words, Kelly-Ann. It has been a pleasure looking after both of your children, and we love that we can stay in contact with your daughter too!

Review from Juliana G (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The old victorian school that houses the nursery with space for crafting, playing, quiet time, yoga, obstacle courses and a huge sandpit is just amazing, the orchard, vegetable garden with a full time gardener, the time the kids spend outside every day, all of that is full five stars and simply amazing. However, the staff is what makes KidsLoveNature in Lytchett Minster truly wonderful. They are loving, caring, they are really engaged with the kids and all they get up to in the day. We joined after moving from Buckinghamshire where we were at another great nursery, but we would never leave KLN, it is a great place for kids and our daughter usually comes out with a big smile on her face at the end of the day and returns with one the next morning.

Reply from Ben Walliman, Director at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. It's lovely to hear how much your daughter enjoys her days here, especially spending time outdoors and exploring the orchard and garden. What you said about the team means a great deal to us - they care deeply about the children and it's wonderful to know that comes through.

We transitioned from a nursery to this kindergarten due to a relocation. I couldn't have been happier with how my daughter has been supported by the staff. It was a tricky time but she seems to have settled in amazingly well and seems to be thriving.

Review from Lauren B (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started attending this nursery from the age of 1 and he has loved it since day one. The nature element of learning has really helped my son develop so many new skills and he loves going over to the allotment to water the plants and harvest the vegetables with the gardener. My son is happy and confident going into nursery to play with his friends and I can be rest assured knowing that whilst I am at work he is enjoying his day. He is really well supported throughout his journey here by his fantastic key worker and I am regularly updated of his progress via the app. The nursery hold regular Q&A sessions via video chat with a child development specialist covering a wide range of topics which I have found to be really useful and informative. The staff here are a great team and work tirelessly to make nursery a fun and happy place. Thank you!

Their outdoor environment is beautiful and allows for a real hands-on learning experience. My daughter loves attending and has built great relationships with staff and other children.

Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with Kids Love Nature. My son has been going since he was 1.5 years and he's nearly 4. I am going to be sad when he has to leave for school in September. Kids Love Nature is the most amazing place! The staff, the setting, the allotment, the time spent outdoors in nature, the yoga and the food, just everything is amazing. Going to nursery there has helped him grow into the most amazing, kind and caring child. If I could keep him in that environment for his whole school years, I would. It's the best!

She comes out every day full of beans and has always had a full day of different activities.
The allotment is fantastic and all the children get an opportunity to plant things and help them grow.

I can't recommend the nursery highly enough, it's a fantastic environment for children to develop, be creative and confident.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster for a year and has just transitioned from caterpillars to ladybirds. After settling in amazingly to caterpillars with the care, compassion and experience of the nursery staff, they have again helped her transition to the big girl room. They have all been kind and caring, and have helped her go from strength to strength. She delights in going to nursery every day and loves the facilities and the ducks.
