Outdoor Owls Guildford

from Amanda E (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

This is our son's second experience of a forest nursery and we honestly think it's amazing! We came from a forest nursery in the city and in terms of setting, outdoor owls is certainly an upgrade! The space the kids have to run free and play is vast. The fun they have with outdoor activities, combined
with the friends they make and freedom is second to none. Our son has always been so happy and comfortable being outside in all weathers and thoroughly enjoys being outside. It has such a positive impact on their happiness too and the weather doesn't bother our son one bit! The site is well set up, the staff are great and so invested in the children's well-being and development. I would highly recommend to anyone considering a move to a forest nursery. Our son hardly ever gets ill too. Huge bonus!

Outdoor Owls Cobham

During the two years our son spent at Outdoor Owls, he had so much fun, made so many friends and learnt a lot. All the educators were amazing and the best part was the daily updates. And we enjoyed the drop-offs and pick-ups which meant we could sneak a little walk through the forest. Sending our son
to a forest nursery was the best decision we ever made.

Outdoor Owls Guildford

from A G (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

As a family who committed to raising our child with modern science backed parenting methods we really struggled to find childcare that was progressive.
Most nurseries are just pokey rooms, that are multifunctional spaces and incredibly over stimulating.
We have been at Outdoor Owls Guildford since
it opened and our daughter has loved it.
The staff are experienced, very dedicated, professional and caring.
This kind of setting demands that the staff have a vested interest in forest school fundamentals and the outdoor philosophy.
There are clear expectations of behaviour and the daily rules to keep them safe and the children self police.
If you are worried about the weather, don't, all the kids love it, with the added bonus that if the weather is bad of a weekend you can stay inside and even watch tv and not feel guilty as they've been out all week!
Plus all the food is wholesome vegetarian, nothing ultra processed.
The only thing I'd like is for them to open an infant school next!

Outdoor Owls has been the best nursery I could have dreamed of for my son, I knew it was the right nursery for us as I immediately felt emotional when we viewed it!
The way they look after the children is so nurturing, allowing them to explore while encouraging play and learning just as young children
should, my child loves going and loves the teachers and friends he has met there.
I'll be so sad when he has to leave to go to school in September but I'll be sure to take him back for holiday camps!

Outdoor Owls Cobham

from R P (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son was with Outdoor Owls Cobham for 15 months in the nursery school and I cannot recommend this experience enough! The staff have a great grasp of how to nurture little ones' social, emotional and cognitive development and the forest setting and nature-based activities help to foster physical and
mental resilience and an understanding and love for the planet, and its plants and animals. The children develop empathy as they interact with critters. The setting doesn't prevent the staff from teaching the children what they need to know to prepare for school, including working together in groups, raising theirs hands, starting to explore language and maths concepts, etc all enabled by the outdoor classroom. I always found that the children seemed content, stimulated and happy when I visited Outdoor Owls and I never wanted to leave to go to work! Thank goodness there are holiday camps so my son can continue playing in the woods on his school breaks.

Since my son has been attending this nursery I have seen a positive difference in his speech development and his confidence when being around others.
The dedication from the teachers is outstanding, you can see how much they care is more than just a job.
Couldn't recommend this nursery more!

This is so lovely to read, thank you so much for sharing. We are pleased your little owl is thriving with us!

Outdoor Owls Cobham

from Jenny M (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter finished at Outdoor Owls in August after just over two wonderful years in the forest. We couldn't have asked for a better place for her to spend her pre-school years. The level of care and engagement from the staff was second to none. All the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy spending their
days in the forest with the children; they are engaged, imaginative, kind and caring. Annie just loved all the adults in camp, they supported her through any struggles and were her biggest cheerleaders through her successes. Our daughter's confidence grew immensely during her time at the nursery, both physically and emotionally, and thanks to the outdoor setting she experienced very few sick days. Since starting school we've been really able to appreciate how much her love of the outdoors and wildlife has been cemented into her personality, thanks to her time at Outdoor Owls. We could not recommend the nursery enough and hope it continues to grow!

My son started at Outdoor Owls in September and has absolutely loved it! First of all the staff are incredible, so caring and provide a really stimulating environment for the children.
The forest is really well equipped and he comes home with such amazing stories of what he has been up to.
He is
always excited to go to Outdoor Owls!

Outdoor Owls Guildford

from Natalie W (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The experience as a parent of a child that goes to Outdoor Owls Guildford, and has done since the first day it opened, has been fantastic. Communication is timely, feedback is taken on board, and questions are answered quickly. They hold events so you can come and spend time in the forest and with other
parents. The staff seem genuinely extremely happy to be working there. Putting your child in a forest school can honestly feel like a bold move. Outdoor Owls provide the necessary support on that journey. It's been wonderful to see the space turn from humble beginnings to constantly getting new and exciting things for the children to play with. If you are interested in sending your child to a forest school, you will be in safe hands here.
Secondly, the experience of the child. My son absolutely loves Outdoor Owls Guildford. He gets to do activities he would never do in an indoor preschool, or at home. There is no doubt he is happier and healthier as a result of attending.
