About Nature Garden Day Nursery & Forest School
From 2 years old & beyond, Monday to Friday, from 7:30am to 6pm.
At Nature Garden Nursery & Forest School, we believe childhood is best lived slowly, freely, and in harmony with the natural world. Based in the heart of Lymm, just a stone’s throw from Rosebank Day Nursery, we offer a truly unique early years experience where children are not just prepared for school - they’re prepared for life.
Our Mission
Our days are filled with meaningful play, outdoor adventures, and a deep respect for each child’s rhythm and individuality. With the
forest as our classroom and nature as our co-teacher,
children explore their curiosity, develop confidence, and build real-world skills - while forming lifelong bonds with the world around them.
We provide an authentic forest school experience where play is purposeful, learning is child-led, and development unfolds naturally. Through open-ended exploration, warm adult guidance, and a deep connection to nature, we nurture confident, capable children who know how to listen to themselves, to others, and to the earth beneath their feet.
For children attending Ravenbank Primary School - we offer wrap around care for Breakfast Club from 7.45am, and a High tea during afterschool club, as well as academic support.
