The Nature Garden Childcare

My child attended for three and a half years to which he fully enjoyed every session. The nursery became a second home where he was nurtured and grew in confident and his social and emotional development. The staff were fantastic along with the environment indoors and outdoors. The activities were highly thought out to develop learning and skills and my child developed beautifully. As a parent, I can not recommend a nursery more highly, the care, learning and happiness of my child shone daily.

The setting seems a very intimate and nurturing environment with an emphasis on outside play and outdoor activities related to growing vegetables, general gardening and caring for the bunnies and guinea pig. Staff seem to understand the personalities and needs of each child and adapt activities accordingly, such as woodwork, phonics, arts and crafts etc. depending on their preferences. The food served is homemade and health-conscious. Storytime is a daily occurrence and at times some Spanish, mainly through songs. In general, we have had a very positive experience and would highly recommend the nursery as an excellent start to learning.

It's fabulous! My son has been coming here for nearly a year now and loves it. Staff are great with him. I love all the bits they get up to. I love that they have some animals to feed and they plant and eat their own veg where possible, my boy's favourite is woodwork.

I could not have found a more perfect place to send my daughter. The environment is amazing and nurturing to my child's needs. My daughter's teacher is one a kind and my daughter is developing brilliantly since coming to The Nature Garden.

Our son loves his time at The Nature Garden every week. Since attending his growth and development in regards to awareness, counting, speaking, and more has accelerated. As parents, we have the daily emails and photos, as well as our son's personal growth report that the staff complete as it gives us such an insight into our son's time here and how much he loves it.

Our child attends The Nature Garden for two mornings per week and really enjoys her time there. The setting is beautifully designed with inspirational and intriguing toys, displays and activities. My child has been exposed to lots of different types of literature, and the themed story box is always filled with exciting props to help tell the story. Activities include role play, painting, mask making and den building to name a few. The garden is as lovely as the main room with an allotment and animals, as well as garden toys, a water cascade, a swing, a house and a mud kitchen. The children are encouraged to play outside in all weathers in puddle suits and wellies, which are provided. As a family, we have enjoyed eating fruits and vegetables, which our child has helped to grow at The Nature Garden. Snacks and lunch are always healthy and homemade, and often my child comes home with extra homemade cake or biscuits! At the end of every day, The Nature Garden sends us a personalised email updating us on what our child has done in that session, what they've enjoyed, any problems and an update on what has or has not been eaten. Attached to the email are always a few lovely photographs of our child during the sessions. Our child could not be happier, and we are so pleased with The Nature Garden provision.
