Based at Top Barn Farm, we provide play-based learning experiences for children in nature. We are passionate about child-led play, developmentally appropriate practice and authentic connection with our children.
We see children at Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten explore the world around them, immersed in an environment that engages the whole being, challenges them to build upon their own individual strengths and interests, and supports them as they expand their knowledge and build their skills.
Outdoor Play
Early Years Specialists
Based at Top Barn Farm, we provide play-based learning experiences for children in nature. We are passionate about child-led play, developmentally appropriate practice and authentic connection with our children.
Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten was founded in 2015 on the idea that a progressive education model can be combined with embracing the outdoors to create a vibrant, innovative Kindergarten where children's inherent desire to learn about themselves and their world is nurtured.
How you been dreaming of setting up your own outdoor nursery? The Nature Nurtures Project is designed to support you in setting up and launching your own Early Childhood nature-based business. We'll take you through the crucial elements that will give you the clarity and confidence to pursue your dreams.
"Aged five and about to start school, he’s confident, popular, independent, and absolutely loving life. This is in huge part thanks to Nurture and its wonderful community of staff and families."
Emily
"This beautiful natural woodland setting is a place where children are free to be children. They are wonderfully nurtured, dearly cared for and are skillfully supported to become confident in who they are. The children are encouraged to have their voice heard in a mutually respectful environment, to become independent learners, skilful negotiators and successful at managing conflict...KEY LIFE SKILLS!"

"I love the way that nature plays a huge part in their ethos, the value placed on outdoor learning, trusting children and their instincts and boundaries."
Keira
"When we first came across Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten we were excited to discover a setting where our Son could spend a significant part of his day outdoors. We soon realised it was much more than that, their unique approach has allowed our son the space and confidence he needed to develop a strong sense of self and independence."
