View Full Details of Outdoor Owls GuildfordThis 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!
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!
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!
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.
