Our daughter is incredibly happy at Wildflowers and we'd highly recommend it to any parent.
It is a completely unique place for children to grow and explore. The manager and the team are so nurturing and supportive of the children, helping them to discover the many wonders of the beautiful Hampshire
countryside as well as giving them all the essential building blocks ahead of their school journey.
Having come from a busy London setting, we feel so grateful we're able to give our daughter the opportunity to spend so much time in nature with people who are so committed to their emotional, physical and social development.

Wildflowers is a very unique and special setting, where our son has grown in confidence, independence and resilience even within the short time he has been there (1 term). The manager has created a culture of curiosity and wonder for both the inner world of the individual child's development of self
and the outer world, fostering in the children a deep appreciation for connecting with the outdoors and seizing all moments as learning opportunities. The mutual respect between the adults and children is unlike any other early years setting I have experienced (even as an ex-teacher) and witnessing the staff navigate conversations with the children is a lovely thing. It's an environment that nurtures the understanding that each child is part of the wildflowers community, and has their part to play, with clear expectations as well as the encouragement to grow into themselves as authentic individuals.

Wildflowers is a magical place. The manager has created a safe space for children to experience a new adventure each day in a variety of beautiful settings. The routine and structure of the day, grounds the children allowing them the freedom to explore, play and be curious about their world. My son
comes bouncing out of Wildflowers at the end of the day telling me that he's been into space, escaped crocodiles and driven his family to a restaurant in a bus.
My son has made some great friends and as a result we've got to know quite a few families; friendships that I'm sure will last after my son moves on to school.
My son has attended Wildflowers for over a year and a half and he is developing into a quietly confident, kind and curious boy who loves the outdoors. Great care is taken to create individual learning plans for the children to best prepare them for when they move on to school. Wildflowers is a unique place and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

My wild daughter was allowed to flourish and continue on her wild adventure in a beautiful structured environment.
The kids are outdoors every day regardless of the weather and learning about nature, the seasons and life. They are then rested, and fed a warm wholesome meal and allowed to play and
discover. The manager and her team have truly created an incredible place. She has carefully crafted each process and activity they do over the years by watching and learning. She is inspired by children and their natural abilities and creates the space for this to truly lead the way. I learnt so much from her. My child loved every second and still insists we visit even though she has now moved on to school.

Wildflower is a really special place. Both my children have been there and have had the most wonderful experience. Children are given the freedom to explore the natural world whilst learning through discovery and play. The manager works tirelessly and puts so much care and love into every detail. I
know that Wildflowers has given my children the best possible start and I am very grateful to the manager and her team.

Wildflowers have stoked our son’s curiosity in the natural world around him and given him a unique perspective and start to his education.
The manager and her team of wonderful teachers have given our child such a rewarding and interesting time at Wildflowers; his love of nature, particularly flowers,
has blossomed under their supervision.

Wildflowers Kindergarten is an exceptional place run by amazing and dedicated individuals. The children spend most of their time outside, come rain or shine, experiencing and learning from nature. They enjoy the freedom to express themselves within the stability of a structured routine. And whilst they're
busy having fun they accidentally learn a huge amount, developing both as little people and also absorbing knowledge from the caring and brilliant staff. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Wildflowers Kindergarten. Our son has thrived and we can't wait to send our daughter when she's old enough. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

We were fortunate to discover Wildflowers! We were searching for a nature orientated kindergarten that allowed our little one to develop at her own pace. Since starting at Wildflowers our little one has blossomed and is growing from strength to strength. She is so excited to go to kindergarten in the
mornings and equally when we pick her up in the afternoon. All she can talk about is her kindergarten and the friends that she plays with each day! The manager and her team are absolutely amazing and are extremely attentive to the children's needs and development. Wildflowers is truly a magical place and comes highly recommended!

Both my children have been fortunate enough to go to Wildflowers and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
The owner/manager is so passionate about early years and wants the very best for your children.
The staff are wonderful and caring.
The food is vegetarian and organic and they eat by candlelight
in a calm and organised environment!
They venture out every day regardless of the weather. They don’t take toys outdoors… this is a proper “forest school” where they head out into nature with curious minds and play play play! Children are taught the importance of community and respect.
You really have to meet the team and spend time with them which is encouraged, it’s magical. I feel very grateful my kids went here.

A magical place where children can thrive and develop, connect with nature and each other. Child-led learning with boundaries as necessary - such places should not be a rarity, rather a norm! Thoroughly recommend.

Our son started at Wildflowers just before he turned three. We had been looking for somewhere with an outdoor focus on education and Wildflowers more than ticked the box. It is a really unique kindergarten, with a fantastic team wholly focused on supporting, educating and caring for the children. My
son is now an all-weather child, genuinely happy to be outside in wind, rain or snow. His speech has come on leaps and bounds and he is a very happy and sociable child, all of which I put to the care he has received at Wildflowers. I cannot recommend Wildflowers Kindergarten and team more highly.

My daughter has been attending Wildflowers since she was 3 and loves it. Children learn so much from just being in nature. Wildflowers provide a very supportive environment to build confidence and independence in children. It has a very balanced combination of outdoor and indoor activities, healthy
nutritious meals and experienced, loving staff. View less.

Our eldest daughter started Wildflowers forest school when she was 3 and has attended to July 2020. Our son has also started and will attend until he needs to leave for school. The owner/manager (who runs it) is originally from Sweden and has a passion for educating young children by enabling them to
use their instincts and intuition in a safe and structured way.
The first half of the day is spent outdoors in the forest (come rain or shine) where she will take them on walks and allow them to learn through play. The children are encouraged to work together to solve problems and snacks are offered in the form of water and homemade bread. Afternoons include a rest, lunch and learning in a beautifully converted barn.
Our children have flourished in this environment and I can highly recommend that it makes your shortlist for prospective pre-schools. It has multiple Ofsted ratings of outstanding and if you haven't heard about it that is because the marketing is word of mouth only!

Reply from Helena Nilsson, Manager and Educator at Wildflowers Kindergarten

Thank you Steve! For snack in the woods, the children also get a bowl of mixed fruits and berries.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.586)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.586) out of 10 for Wildflowers Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.986 for Wildflowers Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.986

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wildflowers Kindergarten is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 6 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
