My granddaughter has been settling in recently. I could not wish for a better start to her journey there at Naturally Learning, she is always outside enjoying activities set. They are making dens, planting seeds or digging up “magical beans”. Absolutely loves the food and the staff are always so lovely
to talk too. I also get to see her on their family app. It’s great!

My little boy started in the baby room and progressed through to the Explorers and it has been a wonderful experience for him.
The staff are warm and engaging and I always receive photos and updates on the topics that my son has covered and I can see exactly what he has eaten - the food is very healthy
and delicious!
The outdoor provision at the nursery is incredible, rain or shine the children can choose to spend the day outside using their imagination and creativity to build, role play and collaborate. The space is beautiful and the children enjoy taking amazing care of it.
My son is thriving at Naturally Learning Lemon Street and I cannot wait for him to join the schoolers.

My son is here four days a week and some days it’s hard to get him to come home! He loves playing out in the garden, which is a good size. The activities feel well thought out and given that I’m away from home three days a week, the daily updates to the app are very welcome.
My son also had a period
of illness with a heart problem and the understanding and care when we had to pull him out of nursery for a month unexpectedly was very welcome, despite me being sure they must have been out of pocket because of it.
Would definitely recommend.

My granddaughter goes to this nursery. It is run by the most amazing people who work extremely hard every day to make sure that she is loved, cared for, happy and fulfilled. The staff are absolutely amazing and I cannot thank them enough for all they do for my granddaughter and the family.

The nursery takes pride in every aspect and delivery of childcare. The staff have a huge amount of passion for everything they are doing with my baby, and are always going above and beyond to ensure the children and parents are happy. The nursery is absolutely beautiful and I love the outdoor space,
as it encourages different aspects of learning from the moment my child started there. I really recommend this nursery, there is no other like it.

My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending Naturally Learning. He’s engaging so much with other children and his speech has improved massively since attending as well as his caring and ability to share with others. This nursery really is lovely and my son loves it.

Cannot fault this facility. The establishment is obviously very close to the staff members hearts and it shows in how they interact with the children and families. My eldest, in particular, is extremely clingy and shy. Within six weeks she can’t wait to go to nursery and loves it every second she’s
there. The fact that I can check on her and her brother on the nursery’s App is an added bonus. I intend for all three of my children to attend the nursery until they are ready for school.

We chose Naturally Learning Lemon Street over two other nurseries because of its convenient location to town and because we were recommended by a couple of friends. However now that my daughter has been at the nursery for almost a year, I have come to love it and want more of the natural side of the
learning experience. My daughter gains so much from this style that I wouldn't want her to learn any other way now. Soon her sister will definitely join the nursery too!

Fantastic nursery. Their unstructured learning and use of the outside is great.
My daughter loves her time there and has really developed and grown in confidence. The staff are great and very child-centric. We love it!

These staff are the bee's knees. I couldn't have asked for better people to be taking care of my daughter.
Managers have always gone above and beyond for us.
Staff are super friendly and there is never a dull moment.
Chefs are wonderful, my daughter always comes home full.
The nursery is always
smelling wonderful and looks clean.


Wish they opened a school so we could stay for longer!

Both my kids 2 and 4 love it here. They want to go and are always buzzing when I collect them. They allow them to assess their own risks and learn for themselves which is important I feel. Very caring environment with lots of cuddles and attention. Ratios for preschool are amazing - always 1 to 6 or
7 max so my son is very lucky. Great planning and attention to detail eg strawberries in water to help them drink more! Beautiful outdoor space which suits all ages and abilities. Would highly recommend.

Our son has attended Naturally Learning Lemon Street since it opened and he has really flourished thanks to them. He started with hardly any vocabulary and now he talks non-stop! His relations with staff has always been excellent, he speaks highly of them all and as do we, as his parents. We highly
recommend this nursery to everybody we know.

Naturally Learning have two nurseries in Truro and we have visited both. I liked Lemon Street as it is in a lovely big house which feels homely rather than anything else. There are rooms upstairs for the older children and rooms upstairs for the children up to 3 years old. They have a big kitchen and
a chef and a lovely big back garden with activities, trees and a wendy house.
My son is currently upstairs and has been attending since he was 9 months old. He settled very quickly and a key worker was chosen after it was decided who he had the closest bond with. He is very much in love with his key worker as are we (his parents) as she really genuinely cares about our son. All members of staff seem to know his name even if they don't work directly with him and show a genuine interest in what he is doing. In terms of physical care, they look after him well and make sure that he is presentable and clean after messy activities or food. Food is varied and of a high quality. I am happy.

My son started the nursery when he was nine months old he settled very quickly thanks to his key worker, who he has developed a great relationship with. He enjoys all the activities that the staff do with him and he loves the space inside and out.

Since my toddler started going, I've been very impressed by how affectionate and caring the toddler room staff are with him. He now happily waves me 'bye' in the mornings and I can see in the app each day what he's eating and when his nap times are. They do lots of activities like baking and sensory
play as well as singing and playing in the huge back garden.

Since my son started nursery here in November he has had the best of times. He’s learning something new always and always comes away happy and telling me about his day. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and connect with each child so well. I wouldn’t send him anywhere else!

Such a brilliant team and a beautiful nursery, I have already recommended to a number of friends. The staff are so good at keeping us updated on what our son has been up to when we pick him up at the end of the day and it's also wonderful to have updates and photos via their nursery app. I feel very
lucky and happy that my son has the chance to attend nursery here.

I can't put into words how happy we are with Naturally Learning Lemon Street.
The nursery itself is beautiful - the rooms are all cosy, clean, and freshly decorated. The toys and resources are fantastic for engaging the children and progressing their learning. The grounds are lovely - our daughter
spends most of her days outside, exploring the natural world (in any weather, appropriately dressed)
The staff are just wonderful - you can tell they love what they do... The care and attention our daughter receives means that we are happy and confident that she is in the best hands when not in our care. There is a wide range of activities on offer for the children on a daily basis, and you can see that real care and attention goes into the planning.
The food always looks (and smells) amazing, freshly cooked on site.
All in all, we couldn't be happier. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to future prospective parents.
