View Full Details of Outdoor Owls CobhamDuring 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 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!
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!
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!
