We absolutely love the overall experience and fundamentals of KLN. Their location is exceptional and unmatched locally, with staff that build genuine connections with the children to help them grow and develop.
01 April 2026
My daughter has been attending Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Avon Heath since September of last year. I was hesitant to choose to send my daughter into a nursery at first but the kindergarten has completely changed my views of what nurseries can be like. I see how well my daughter is looked after
by all the team and how much she enjoys her days she attends there. She gets lots of fresh air playing outdoors and also gets to learn and explore in nature which is so beneficial for children. My daughter would now rather go into nursery than spend time with me which proves just how much she loves it!
I cannot recommend the Kindergarten enough, especially if your child loves being outdoors!

In just a few months, our little one has started her journey at KLN (with a few nerves) and now dances at the door with excitement waiting to go in!
We fell in love with the setting when we first viewed it and there was no other option for us. The staff have all been brilliant at welcoming her
in and are so lovely to chat to. No matter who answers the door at pick-up, they will always know your child and can summarise their day. It is such a wonderful and personal experience and you can tell they really care. Our little one often chats about the staff when we're at home and has a great bond with them already. It is so lovely to see photos and updates of her day and the range of activities she can take part in, including gardening and cooking!
We're just at the beginning of our journey here but are already so pleased with our choice!

We've sent both our children over the years and they've both been really well looked after. They get to spend so much time in the fresh air and exploring. They've both made good use of the in-house artist and helping the ranger. Our youngest also loves helping the chef prep lunch and snacks!
They've both had chances to learn and grow beyond what we were expecting when we first looked for nurseries all those years ago.
We happily recommend them to anyone who asks!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Avon Heath Nursery. From the beginning we have found the team to be warm, welcoming and supportive. The staff are not only caring to the children's needs but have provided us as parents so much guidance. My son's confidence has grown, as has his sense of
independence. In addition, his knowledge now on nature is amazing!

Kids Love Nature has been superb since our son started at the age of 2. They've been totally committed to making his time there brilliant and he brings home so many lovely behaviours he's learnt there, such as wanting to help me cook. He also eats a wide range of nutritious foods which he wouldn't
necessarily get exposed to at home. The staff really understand our son and even seem to set up activities which match his interests and he always comes out happy. The staff are always available for a chat to offer guidance and advice - they've helped us navigate some challenges we've had at home around parental preference and sleep with sensible and practical advice. I am so glad we found you, our son has benefited so much from being at your setting. Thanks for all that you do.

We cannot fault Avon Heath - our daughter has been attending since she turned 2 and is now 4. She loves going. The facilities are incredible - we love the outdoor play space, it's huge and has rope swings, a pond, loose parts to build with, a sand pit etc. The focus on children exploring nature and
playing is great. Our daughter loves helping with the food preparation and makes endless crafts. The staff have consistently been excellent - friendly, knowledgable and genuinely care for our little one.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say how outstanding Kids Love Nature at Avon Heath has been. We have a unique family situation happening and everyone at Kids Love Nature has been incredible. My son loves it at Kids Love Nature, the staff have been incredible and I can't speak more highly about
our whole experience. This centre is such a credit to your organisation. I have been more than thrilled with everything and the staff deserve so much credit. They have been consistently wonderful and I am so grateful for all they have done for us. Thank you.

My little boy loves going into the nursery; he runs in and doesn't look back, and he always comes running out with the biggest smile on his face, which is a testament to all the staff, who have all been amazing since the day he started. This was the perfect choice for me as he loves being outside,
he will go on the ranger walks whenever he can, he comes home with so much artwork, which he is always proud of, helps the lady with the cooking; he has grown so much in confidence, this was definitely the best nursery for him to grow.

I honestly cannot recommend Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Avon Heath highly enough for their knowledge, educational/early years expertise and overall standard of care and teaching. My child has been with the nursery since she turned two and as a four-and-a-half-year-old now, they have honestly
contributed so much in shaping her into the articulate, emotionally intelligent, empathetic and all-round wholesome and fun little person she has become today. The teaching staff are each truly brilliant within their own fields. Thank you from the bottom of my and my family's hearts for all you do.
01 March 2023
I have no doubt that since my son started here at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Avon Heath he has flourished. The staff are so caring and the communication is excellent. All staff are very approachable and it is clear that they all love working there. The outdoor space is second to none as well
as the offering of ranger walks on the heath. Our son surprises us every day with skills or songs he has learnt or the big smiles he has when talking about the friendships he has made. This really is a fantastic nursery and I couldn't imagine a better start for him.
01 March 2023
When an outdoor learning environment is fused with people who really care and then topped up with time for each child's individual growth and unlimited adventure why choose anything else? Our darling boy finishes his day with the most enthralling stories. Kids Love Nature offers more to him than we
could as parents even if we didn't work. Kids Love Nature is a choice to trust others to help mould your child without the guilt of working, it's not a replacement for parenthood but an extensive support of education.

Amazing caring nursery.
Fantastic setting. Staff clearly love working there. They all always know the children and what they have done that day.
Amazing homemade food, which the children can help to prepare.
Where else can you go on a ranger walk daily and build a den?
06 February 2023
My daughter absolutely loves it here. She always comes back with lovely stories of the amazing time she has there. She runs in, excited every time. She is my second child to attend and I cannot recommend its highly enough.
06 February 2023
My son went here for 2-3 years, now my daughter attends. What an experience for them in nature, ranger walks and they are always doing so many activities. The team are lovely and informative of anything to be aware of with the children 11/10!

We chose Kids Love Nature as we believe fostering a love of the outdoors is so important for children and the ethos for supporting development fits with our parenting style. We have not been disappointed. It’s a beautiful setting with incredible staff who genuinely love and nurture the children. The
free flow style really suits our son and allows him to follow his interests and learn through play and exploration. The communication is excellent and we always feel very comfortable talking to staff about anything our son is struggling with and they really do go above and beyond to offer guidance and reassurance. Food is freshly prepared, the ranger activities are a major hit and our son loves attending. My only advice, prepare for clothes to get covered in paint and mud … as they should.

My daughter loves going to nursery at Avon Heath. This was her first time going to a nursery school and it took her a while to settle in - the staff were kind, caring and attentive, and did everything to make this experience pleasant for her. She is now confident going in and just wants to go more
often! Lots of outdoor, cooking, singing, and a generally healthy and relaxed atmosphere.
24 May 2021
Our daughter started in January 2021. She settled in extremely well thanks to the caring dedicated staff. It is a beautiful kindergarten with a large outdoor space, all focussing on nature and allowing the children to be free. We knew it would the perfect place for our daughter as she loves being
outside and everything nature. Our son will go here too. I couldn’t recommend this kindergarten enough. I wish our children could stay in this setting for several years before starting primary school. I think the age for starting school is too young and this kind of learning is so much more valuable to them.
Thank you so much to the staff at Kids Love Nature at Avon Heath.

Both my children have attended this nursery, with my 2 year old currently attending. Excellent nursery, staff are so friendly and welcoming and really work hard on connecting with the children to make them feel safe and happy. The range of activities available to the children daily is like no other
and my son loves going into nursery and exploring the setting and the great outdoors on the ranger walks. Highly recommend, such a unique experience for children, and feel so lucky to have my children attend this nursery!
24 May 2021
Both my son and daughter have absolutely loved it here. The facilities are amazing and the staff genuinely care about the children. They always keep you informed on what they have been doing during the day from what and who they have played with to how much lunch they ate (mine often went back for
extra helpings as loved the food!). The ranger walks are amazing and the kids love the rangers as they really involve them in back to basic learning experiences including making swings and building wormeries. I received regular updates with photos on activities they had been taking part in which was lovely to see.
I truly wish this had existed when I was a child as it is an amazing place for a toddler to learn, explore and have fun.
