We were new to Dunblane Nature Kindergarten as of 2025. The three Nursery Practitioners have been fantastic in helping my little boy and I with settling in. He has only been on full days for 3 weeks but I am already seeing his confidence grow. Excellent staff, healthy food and lots of play and learning
both in and outdoors.

Child has been going to Dunblane Nature Nursery for nearly a year and has had a great time during their time with them. Staff are always receptive and helped resolve an issue where my child was missing their friends as they aged out of the younger groups, so let him head up earlier, which has been great
for his development. Play environments are also full of fun and they have a great exposure to play and activities outside the room which is fun to see. The amount of information we get from them is also useful, and help with dietary problems has helped. Did have some issues with communication earlier on and access to systems, but all gets resolved in good time.

Our son joined the nursery aged 1 in August 2024. He struggled with separation anxiety but the staff made loads of extra effort to help him settle. Now he absolutely loves nursery and toddles in barely noticing we're leaving. The leaders in the sunbeam room are always doing extra activities and changing
the room to make sure it feels new and fun. I am so happy with our choice to send our son to DNK.

Overall a good nursery, it's obvious that the staff cares very much about the wellness of the children and their development. They even have a chef now onsite for healthy and balanced menus!
Any issue raised have been dealt with management very promptly and sorted out with follow up actions.

has been quite few changes in term of management and staff over a year, but it doesn't seem to have affected my son.

Our little boy attends Dunblane Nature Kindergarten (rainbows) twice a week and absolutely loves it.
He has come on leaps and bounds socially, emotionally and just as a wee character since starting here nearly 2 years ago.
The biggest selling point for me is the outdoor focused play and learning.
Our little boy absolutely thrives in this environment and it's a pleasure and joy to watch through Instagram updates.
The girls are so attentive and kind with all of the little ones and they always make time for a chat with the parents at drop off/pick ups.
Lovely bunch of staff and a fabulous nursery that we can't wait to introduce to our newest addition to the family!

Like most parents, we were initially a little anxious about sending our little girl to nursery. We needn't have worried, the nursery staff were so welcoming and put us at ease. They were so patient, caring and informative during her settling in period. Gradually, she became more confident going in and
now absolutely loves going! She is now a fully fledged tweenie! Staff are very good at giving updates as to what she has been up to and every time we go in to pick her up, the children are always up to some exciting activity. They take any opportunity to have them outdoors which is brilliant. I am really so glad that we opted for Happitots. They are also one of the few nurseries that are flexible with schedules. Being parents who work shifts, this goes a long way knowing that your child is very well cared for and thriving. I would absolutely recommend this nursery and will continue using them until my daughter goes to school.
