Review from B I (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Outdoor Owls has been a fantastic experience for my little one. I've seen his confidence grow exponentially since joining the nursery. Family friends have also remarked on how confident he appears in moving his body (climbing, jumping, running, etc), being a good steward of the natural world, and playing
with other children. The staff at OO are friendly, diverse, engaging and really believe in the mission of Outdoor Owls. They happily celebrate little wins and milestones in development with us. I'm always amazed by how smoothly they manage to make a day outdoors with young children run. I highly recommend Outdoor Owls!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending Outdoor Owls for a few months now. She thoroughly enjoys her days and has made fantastic progress in all areas of her development.
The staff at Outdoor Owls are simply fantastic. They not only ensure our daughter is cared for and supported in her education journey but
they ensure parents are fully aware of all areas of nursery life to help promote the best environment for all children attending.
The start of an outdoor nursery did seem daunting after a big move, with the introduction of a minibus journey and all the outdoor kit in the height of winter, but the staff are perfectly trained in handling parent and toddler worries and made the transition so easy. We are thrilled with the nursery and the care they show our daughter.
We highly recommend Outdoor Owls to anyone we can. The staff go above and beyond to provide a stimulating, caring and creative learning environment. You will get to watch your child flourish in their care.
Reply from Outdoor Owls, Manager at Outdoor Owls RichmondWe are so pleased to read of your positive experience since recently joining us, we are happy you're here! Thanks for taking the time to share.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Outdoor Owls is a truly exceptional nursery, unlike any other we have experienced. The concept is incredible and we feel so privileged to be living in London and for our children to still be able to experience the great outdoors and nature every single day, all day.
The learning that takes place in
the forest is second to none, our children have learnt amazing skills for life that have helped them to develop socially, and physically and be more than ready when it comes to starting school.
Beyond all of this, and most importantly, the whole staff team are brilliant and so caring towards the children. They have made us feel so welcome as a family and the family events throughout the year really build the whole community. The handover at the end of every day shows how well they know our children and how much they care about them.
As many Outdoor Owl parents say, our only wish is that our children can keep on attending until they are much older! Thank goodness for the holiday camps!
Reply from Outdoor Owls, Manager at Outdoor Owls RichmondThis is such a lovely review to read, thank you so much for taking the time to share it. It means so much to our team to hear! Owlsome times ahead for sure!

I have 2 boys at Outdoor Owls in different age groups and it has been transformative for both of them. What a gift to teach kids to play outside and explore and develop amazing resilience.
Every member of the team is consistently brilliant. They love what they do and they are on another level than
a standard nursery.
Reply from Outdoor Owls, Manager at Outdoor Owls RichmondThis is a joy to read and we are so thankful you took the time to share it, thank you so much! There is certainly more owlsome times ahead!

My two children have really enjoyed their Outdoor Owls experience. Every day is a new adventure! They made lovely friends and great bonds with the educators. The quality of care and education has been top-notch. Management has been proactive in their communications with us and highlighted where the
kids may have needed additional support. I have recommended Outdoor Owls to other families and continue to do so.
Reply from Outdoor Owls, Manager at Outdoor Owls RichmondWe are so grateful that you took the time to leave such a kind review, it means so much to us! It's owlsome to read the positive experience both you and your little owl have had with us.

We absolutely love everything about Outdoor Owls. The staff are kind, caring, friendly, creative and professional. Our children are surrounded by such incredible role models.
The forest setting is magical and fun and our children have grown so much in confidence and resilience. They have become curious
about nature, people and the world around them. We would 100% recommend Outdoor Owls.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.952 for Outdoor Owls Richmond is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.952
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Outdoor Owls Richmond is based on 26 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
