We are an outdoor, Montessori-inspired nursery located in the beautiful village of Kirkfieldbank.
With spaces for up to 30 children aged two years up to entry into primary 3, our vertical grouping enhances individualised learning opportunities at a personalised pace.
Our base campgrounds are within a working dairy farm, where we have exclusive use of our own field, orchard and forest. With our purpose-built classroom, log cabin, and boot room and numerous sheltered spots offer shelter and warmth on those chilly winter mornings.
Our views are spectacular, and the surroundings are idyllic for any child to spend their days immersed in nature.
We offer a unique style of Montessori education with an abundance of outdoor play.
Can you imagine the learning potential in a classroom without walls or limitations?
"It is time to rethink how and where we educate our children."
The Nature Nursery aims to provide a friendly, caring and safe outdoor learning environment that is child led and full of adventure. It is where innate curiosity and play are mixed with discovery and learning to create a love of nature and the outdoors that will last a lifetime.
Your child will learn from real, hands on experiences such as climbing on trees and hay bales, yoga, woodwork, feeding animals, building dens, lighting fires, growing their own fruit/vegetables and cooking in our outdoor fire pit.
Our environment is shaped by the ever changing seasons, which then influence the experiences we offer.
Our animals offer an invaluable learning opportunity for your children. Contact with animals can provide something special and magical in addition to human interaction.
We cannot wait to welcome your children into a home from home environment where the magic of childhood will unfold their full potential in every area of development.
After a busy day full of fresh air, fun and learning your child will go home happy, healthy (maybe a little muddy) and ready for tomorrow's adventure
