Independent in Richmond

“Outdoor Owls is just not a nursery, they offer a very inclusive and holistic way to explore the beautiful world we inhabit and they do it with so much presence and love. This has been so important in the development of our child.Though it has only been few months, the changes we get to see in him are profound. The way his sense of expression and self confidence has developed in this relatively short period of time is incredible. He has started to tell stories, make new friends and get comfortable with new people around. Everytime we pick and drop him the space feels so alive! The enthusiasm of the children mixed with the freshness of nature, it is always a treat to be in that energetic space even for few minutes. A lot of work and effort goes into being around and manage so many kids in the outdoors, but the teachers do it so effortlessly. They are so committed to their wellbeing. They are the perfect nurtures and a home away from home. Outdoors has been very important to us growing up so we were very excited for our child but Outdoor Owls turned out to be much more than what we expected, they are a perfect place to lay the foundation. I would highly recommend sending kids to an actual forest school/nursery like Outdoor Owls for a holistic physical, mental and emotional development.”

“Our son attends Kew Montessori and we simply couldn’t be happier. He runs through the doors every morning, excited to see his teachers who greet him with cuddles, love and laughter. We feel very safe and secure in the knowledge that our son is confidently learning, happy and beautifully cared for every day. It’s brilliantly run and the office staff are always helpful and kind. We look forward to our second child attending in the future.”

“My daughter attended for 2 years and it was a wonderful time. The school team is sensational, very well prepared and attentive. We are very happy with this nursery.”

“How lucky we were to find this amazing nursery. My boys started here just before their 2nd birthday and have absolutely thrived under the care of all the wonderful staff here. Not only have they helped my boys grow into wonderful, caring, inquisitive and very healthy 4 year olds they have given them an amazing educational grounding ready to start their school journey in the next few months. They both have a wonderful grasp of phonics, a deep love of numbers, can write their own names, sing numerous songs in mandarin and have truly developed a love of nature. I'm frequently being told what is and isn't 'good for the planet'. The nursery setting couldn't be more delightful, right in the middle of Marble Hill park, which essentially becomes their extended playground on daily visits out. I can't recommend this place highly enough.”

“My kids attended Unicorn and loved every moment of it. It's a really special place. In particular, I like the relaxed, informal style where great academic outcomes come as a by-product of developing happy, confident and well-rounded children. If you want to play an active role in your child's development, this is the school for you.”

“Best school I’ve ever been to. This school honestly has made me who I am. I love this school so much and I would do anything to go back i so recommend”
