The nursery is excellent. The staff are very attentive and genuinely care about and are interested in those under their care. The facilities and outside spaces are excellent and the nursery provides an excellent outdoors orientated setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are really pleased with Kids love nature. Our daughter loves going and there’s such a variety of activities; looking after the ducklings, trips to the allotment, painting, yoga, mud kitchen etc.
As parents who love the outdoors, we couldn’t have found a better place for our daughter to go, and
once our other daughter turns 1 she’ll be starting here too!

Where do I start? They are a super nursery that ticks all boxes for me. I feel my daughter is safe and looked after to the highest standard. My daughter was prem at 1lb6 when born and Kids Love Nature have gone above and beyond to understand support any medical issues we have gone through. Forever grateful
for their support. My daughter loves it and has settled in with the amazing staff and activities straight away. They are friendly approachable and so knowledgeable. They care which is a biggie for me and they are all so genuine. The children are just so happy and they have so much to do and explore. My daughter mentions all the staff names all the time at home which shows me how well loved this nursery is.
Can't rave about this nursery enough just wished they did infant and junior schools too as I will be sad when my daughter leaves for school.

Review from Gemma F (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest son started at Kids Love Nature when it opened after a disastrous time at another nursery.
He settled really quickly, bonded fantastically with his key worker and came home every day with new stories, facts or games he has learnt and was keen to explore further at home.
When my youngest
son unexpectedly had to suddenly start attending at age 2, Kids Love Nature couldn’t have been more helpful, they have gone over and above to support our family through a difficult time and have become more than just ‘childcare’ but a part of our lives.
I can’t recommend Kids Love Nature highly enough.

My daughter started in April, she'd never been with anyone except me and Daddy. From day one she came home happy, singing and didn’t show any signs of separation anxiety at all. She cried at the beginning on drop-offs but the fantastic staff managed to settle her quickly. Within two weeks she stopped
crying completely. I honestly can’t thank the amazing staff for providing a safe, positive environment. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.412)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.412) out of 10 for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.962 for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.962
  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 4.45 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75
  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.
