All about Lytchett Minster.

The Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster opened in September 2018 following an extensive renovation of both the indoor and outdoor spaces. This beautiful former Victorian Primary School is our newest kindergarten and won the 2020 and 2021 ‘Top 20 Day Nursery in South West’ Award. Conveniently located on Dorchester Road with easy access from Upton, Corfe Mullen and less than a mile from the Bakers Arms roundabout.

With 4 beautiful classrooms that cater for every area of interest, the learning flows seamlessly to the extensive outdoor space which includes; a super sized sand pit, mud cafe, outdoor classroom and playhouse. Our highly qualified and loving team, ensures your child has the best start to nursery life, enabling your child's individual talents to flourish. Our visiting artist sparks children’s creative imagination and together they develop amazing pieces of art!

To ensure your child is connected to all the wonders of nature, we are collaborating with Lytchett Minster School to run a 2 acre allotment. Our full-time gardener works with the children and teachers to develop a love of growing by taking them on the seed to plate journey.  They work together growing every type of vegetable imaginable in the polytunnels and growing beds, then pick the abundant fruit from the orchard and berry bushes. Before returning to the kindergarten with their harvest, they collect eggs from the chickens and help to feed the ducks.

All our produce contributes to the ingredients used by our chef, and with the help of the children, they cook all the delicious homemade meals and snacks. 

Everyday at Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster really is extraordinary!

“What a wonderful setting. I couldn’t be happier that we made the move to Kids Love Nature. We love the whole ethos from all the outdoor time, baking, creativity and playing to the organised and calming environment they offer.”

Samantha, Parent
