Our Mission is about Engaging, Enabling & Empowering children to take responsibility for themselves, others and their environment.

Nature's Play incorporates the Reggio Emilia Approach which is an educational philosophy focused on preschool and primary education. This led to creation of a program based on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment based on the interests of the children through a self-guided curriculum

Testimonials

Craig Hooper Landscaping Ltd

We have three children, the youngest of which was enrolled at Nature's Play Kindergarten when she was two years old. In the time that Mikayla has been going to Nature's Play Kindergarten we have found it to be a fantastic and safe environment for her to grow and learn. The staff are kind and sincere, with a hands on approach to the children's learning. We have never before come across a kindergarten that feeds their children so well; their cooked lunches and snack breaks are always healthy and nutritious. The programme they have set out for the children is teaching our daughter valuable skills which will carry her through to the start of school. We would not hesitate in recommending Nature's Play Kindergarten to any of our friends with small children.

Thank you very much to the staff of Nature's Play Kindergarten.

Kind Regards,
Craig & Rachael Hooper.

Our eldest started Nature's Play soon after they first opened, now both of our children have had the pleasure of experiencing everything that Nature's Play has to offer. Our youngest would attend 24/7 if she could, she enjoys the environment of group play and all of the programmes they offer, especially enjoying 4 year old learning group sessions. The teachers are friendly and relaxed, easy for parents to approach and talk about anything. Our 'big' six year old still wants to go and spend time playing in the school holidays, thanks to the lovely extended family atmosphere that Nature's Play has.

Our son has been attending Nature's Play for over a year. We really enjoy the artistic creations that he comes home with and he is developing important social skills by being exposed to friendships and new situations. The staff are always friendly and approachable and there is a fun creative atmosphere. We as parents particularly like the nature aspect such as growing vegetables, watching the life cycles of butterflies etc and feel that Nature's Play encourages the naturally inquisitive nature of children. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this kindergarten :)
