Truly magical! We cannot recommend OO enough. Our daughter settled in quickly (after a year struggling to settle at her previous nursery) and has clearly thrived from being there.
The team are all kind, patient, caring, passionate, inspiring, creative and full of fun - everything (and more!) you could
hope for in early years educators. They understand the unique needs of every child. The environment is healthy and wholesome, with a strong emphasis on adventure and the outdoors, which we absolutely love.
It's been wonderful to see our daughter grow in confidence and independence, and to develop such a genuine appreciation for the natural world. She is happy (and often excited) to go off each morning, which speaks volumes about the warmth and positivity of the setting. Thank you to the whole team for nurturing our children so well and for doing what you do, we are eternally grateful! We can't wait for our son to start in a few months. We often say we wish we could come to OO too :)

My child has been attending the nursery for over a year now and he has thrived! He's come a long way in terms of his communication and physical delvelopment, I'm extremely grateful for the exceptional Educators who have helped my child achieve every major development smoothly. I'm very very happy with
the nursery.

Watching this forest school grow from its early days has been nothing short of inspiring. What started as a gentle, playful way to introduce young children to nature has now become a powerful foundation for raising confident, kind, and curious young people.The staff here are truly exceptional. Their
care, patience, and deep understanding of each child's unique journey is what makes this place so special. They don't just teach - they guide, nurture, and inspire. It's clear that every child is seen, heard, and supported to grow into their best self.Thanks to the incredible team , the children learn far more than facts. They grow in spirit, creativity, resilience, and kindness. They climb trees, solve problems, build friendships, and learn to love the world around them - all in a way that feels natural, joyful, and deeply meaningful This forest school is a rare gem. The work the staff are doing is shaping beautiful minds and even more beautiful hearts. We are so grateful for everything

We absolutely love Outdoor Owls, the team is the best I have seen and we went to check many nurseries before we decided to apply for this one. We are very happy with everything, from the cool outdoor activities to the minibus adventures that they have every time. I wouldn't consider any other nursery
than for my daughter.

Outdoor owls is a fabulous place to send your child to. It is everything I could have hoped for and more. Crucially my daughter feels safe and happy there. She has learned so much and her development has been amazing. The team are very caring and loving. We get very detailed reports which clearly show
how well they know our little one. I love knowing that every day she goes she is outside in the fresh air and developing her physical and emotional skills. Please don't let your fears about weather/cold winter days put you off. You get plenty of information on what to dress them in with suggested links for clothing outlets. She also loves her mini bus journeys there and back. Conventional nurseries will also not have as many male staff working there which, for me, is an added bonus. I strongly encourage Outdoor Owls and a visit to see the magic of the forest for yourself!

We have spent three years paying absolute top fees at the most expensive nursery in Wandsworth. I just wish we had joined Outdoor Owls sooner. It is, hands down, the most magical childcare experience I have seen not just in London, but elsewhere too. The staff are all fully engaged, active, empathetic,
and proactively role models. The curriculum is carefully and thoughtfully laid out. The outdoors and physical activities are second to none. I noticed such positive changes in my daughter in just a few months, more positive self-talk, way more physically confident and outgoing, and every single day she's happy and grubby and tired and talks about the fun she's had. Don't let the fully outdoors bit put you off, the kids are perfectly kitted out and the teachers are on it. There are also sensible contingency plans for really bad weather. I finally feel zero mum guilt about childcare, and that's priceless.

Our daughter loves to go to Outdoor Owls! We are so happy to send her to a nursery where she gets so much nature and outdoor time with a good education. She barely ever gets sick anymore in comparison to her old indoor nursery which is a huge bonus for us all. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.290)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.290) out of 10 for Outdoor Owls Putney is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.990 for Outdoor Owls Putney is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.99

  • b) 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 4.3 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Outdoor Owls Putney is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • ii) 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
