The old victorian school that houses the nursery with space for crafting, playing, quiet time, yoga, obstacle courses and a huge sandpit is just amazing, the orchard, vegetable garden with a full time gardener, the time the kids spend outside every day, all of that is full five stars and simply
amazing. However, the staff is what makes KidsLoveNature in Lytchett Minster truly wonderful. They are loving, caring, they are really engaged with the kids and all they get up to in the day. We joined after moving from Buckinghamshire where we were at another great nursery, but we would never leave KLN, it is a great place for kids and our daughter usually comes out with a big smile on her face at the end of the day and returns with one the next morning.

We transitioned from a nursery to this kindergarten due to a relocation. I couldn't have been happier with how my daughter has been supported by the staff. It was a tricky time but she seems to have settled in amazingly well and seems to be thriving.

My son started attending this nursery from the age of 1 and he has loved it since day one. The nature element of learning has really helped my son develop so many new skills and he loves going over to the allotment to water the plants and harvest the vegetables with the gardener. My son is happy and
confident going into nursery to play with his friends and I can be rest assured knowing that whilst I am at work he is enjoying his day. He is really well supported throughout his journey here by his fantastic key worker and I am regularly updated of his progress via the app. The nursery hold regular Q&A sessions via video chat with a child development specialist covering a wide range of topics which I have found to be really useful and informative. The staff here are a great team and work tirelessly to make nursery a fun and happy place. Thank you!

Can’t say enough good things about Kids Love Nature in Lytchett Minster! Since sending my daughter there it has been all smiles, she absolutely loves going to nursery - she is an outdoorsy girl and this nursery allows her to explore this. All the staff are wonderful and very welcoming to both
parents and children. Nothing to too much trouble and I love going to work knowing my daughter is having a great day! Highly highly recommend this nursery!

My daughter has been going here since she was one and she has thrived. The ethos and the way in which they approach learning is fantastic and evidence-based. Their outdoor environment is beautiful and allows for a real hands-on learning experience. My daughter loves attending and has built great
relationships with staff and other children.

My son has just started and has settled in beautifully. The staff have been amazing and he loves going already. I love being able to see what he gets up to so a few more pictures would be lovely. The food sounds really varied and nutritious.

I couldn't be happier with Kids Love Nature. My son has been going since he was 1.5 years and he's nearly 4. I am going to be sad when he has to leave for school in September. Kids Love Nature is the most amazing place! The staff, the setting, the allotment, the time spent outdoors in nature, the
yoga and the food, just everything is amazing. Going to nursery there has helped him grow into the most amazing, kind and caring child. If I could keep him in that environment for his whole school years, I would. It's the best!

My daughter absolutely loves attending Kids love Nature Kindergarten.
She comes out every day full of beans and has always had a full day of different activities.
The allotment is fantastic and all the children get an opportunity to plant things and help them grow.
The staff are so friendly and
approachable, they are always happy to help with any inquiry and are there to offer support and advice for any parental challenges.
I can't recommend the nursery highly enough, it's a fantastic environment for children to develop, be creative and confident.

Warm, welcoming and happy. My daughter is so excited to get to school in the morning. Nothing but good things to say about this place, my daughter is learning so much and making great friends along the way.

I am overall very happy with Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster. Even my little one asks to go into the nursery. I think the staff work very hard to achieve every kid's emotional and learning needs. I love how kids are being made aware of their environment through play. My little one
often comes home with some new vocabulary and lots of fun stories of what they have been up to during the day.
27 April 2022
Our daughter has been attending Kids Love Nature in Lytchett Minster for 6-months. It's a nurturing, fun and very happy place staffed by a team that genuinely cares about the children's growth, development and sense of self.
From spending time in the allotments, nature walks, yoga, and feeding the
resident ducks through to planting vegetables in the poly-tunnels, many of the activities are geared towards outdoor learning and the world around them. Meals are healthy, largely vegetarian with many ingredients 'kindergarten grown'. Messy, creative play is encouraged with arts, crafts and water-based activities meaning spare clothes and shoes are essential. I feel confident that our daughter is really developing her social skills, learning something new every day via activities we would struggle to replicate at home (or in any other nursery setting). The Ofsted outstanding rating is richly deserved with credit to the team for their boundless energy, fun and creativity.

My daughter has been at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster for a year and has just transitioned from caterpillars to ladybirds. After settling in amazingly to caterpillars with the care, compassion and experience of the nursery staff, they have again helped her transition to the big
girl room. They have all been kind and caring, and have helped her go from strength to strength. She delights in going to nursery every day and loves the facilities and the ducks.
11 April 2022
My child loves the nursery, she is going every morning with a smile, she loves her teachers who are very kind and helpful. She enjoys playing with all the toys and going out in the garden. We have a lot of fun at the nursery. They have a very nice and well maintained allotment where children can
learn by playing about nature, plants and animals.
01 April 2022
We love this nursery! Our daughter has a fantastic time and we are so impressed with the variety of activities and experiences provided. The staff have always been enthusiastic, professional and clearly know the children in their care very well. The allotment is a brilliant resource and is really
well used. Communication is spot on, great use of the parent app.
30 March 2022
I am so pleased that we chose Kids Love Nature for our daughter. The facilities are superb and far superior to anywhere else I have seen. For a child who adores nature and being outdoors, this kindergarten meets all of her activity needs and wants, whilst also providing her with a good educational
foundation through play and fun.
29 March 2022
Although my child has only been going to the setting for 2 days a week, she has settled in effortlessly with the help of the amazing staff. They are keen to hear about how the children have been doing at home and if they need to try and encourage them with learning certain things. My child loves
being in their garden, moving around and doing her own thing, which a lot of other nurseries would restrict to 'playtime'. I love that this setting has an open-door policy so that if any child wants to be indoors/outdoors they will accommodate the best they can.

From the day we had our look-around at Kids Love Nature we have loved it. We knew we wanted our son to go there. The learning is so unique, it's all led by nature and also led by the children's interests. For example, recently our son has shown a special interest in planes. I let his key person know
about his interest in them, and by the next day she had prepared a special tuff tray with aeroplanes all shapes and sizes made from recycled materials, as well as books all about planes. Our son came back from nursery and as well as making the noise for planes (he's not yet talking), he had also been shown the sign language for the word "plane" which he repeated for the rest of the evening. We feel like we are learning through what he is learning by being at Kids Love Nature! We are amazed by all the staff, their attention to detail, their special care for the children, also their genuine passion and interest for what they do. Our son loves going and we've noticed big leaps in his development.

Kids Love Nature at Lytchett has met all expectations and beyond, the practitioners and all staff are outstanding. Their approach and creativity to developing children is like no other, highly recommend.
