"I cannot reiterate how much we love The Shepherd's Hut . Every one of your staff members has always been outstanding. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much for, we are very grateful."

I would highly recommend The Shepherds Hut, my 2 boys have been attending the holiday club for 2 summers and absolutely love the adventure and the experience they provide. They always come home beaming about different activities and are full of knowledge about the environment around us. The teachers are lovely and genuinely care and support all the children.

I can not recommend highly enough The Shepherds Hut Outdoor Day Nursery. My son’s both came here during the summer holidays for summer camp and loved it. If your son or daughter loves the outdoors, bugs, getting dirty, all weathers and my sons favourite part of the day, the fire pit and marshmallows then this is the place! The staff are fantastic and great with the children.
 

Both my sons have attended the holiday club at Shepherds Hut for 2-years. They both love it there. They do a wide range of different activities, and I think it’s great that a lot of them are child-led. It’s such a fun experience for them. My youngest has made lots of friends during his sessions there. 
My eldest son has additional needs and the staff have been absolutely fantastic with him. It’s one of the only places I feel totally relaxed about him being without me there. I know he’s engaged in lots of activities and well looked after. I can’t recommend the holiday club enough, and we will definitely be coming each Easter and summer.
 

"From walking in to The Shepherd’s Hut outdoor nursery our reserved, quiet  two year old and I were greeted by warm, friendly, and very enthusiastic staff. Without prompting he was immediately immersed in the wonderful  setting, and we have had the joy of seeing him being ‘unfolded’. His  self-esteem has been nurtured and he fills with pride when telling friends and family all about the amazing activities he has completed at ‘school’. As parents we feel extremely lucky that he has the opportunity to have a full childhood, and has a love of learning in this beautiful holistic, child-led setting."

Both my boys have attended Shepherds Hut since they were very young. My youngest joined Baby Barn when he was only a few months old. They have both loved it since the moment they arrived. We never had any issues with leaving them and they have always been so excited when we tell them it's a forest school day. Our journeys home from the Shepherds Hut have become my favourite time with the boys as they would be so excited to tell me all about their day. The staff have always been happy, professional, fun and caring. The setting is wonderful with the cosy yurt and lovely Baby Barn. I couldn't ask for anything more and I cannot fault this setting. We would have them there five days a week if we could, it's only our personal logistics that stop this from being the case. Thank you Shepherds Hut for always taking such good care of my babies, we will miss you enormously.

Our son has been attending Shepherd's Hut for a year now and we can't recommend it enough! The staff team did their best to help Hugo settle in and we feel they really go above and beyond with ensuring the children engage in a variety of creative and learning practices, all in a beautiful outdoor setting. The children he meets seem lovely and some of the parents are keen to meet up with their children for playdates. We have no hesitation recommending it and will be sending his younger brother there soon too. I wish places like this existed for primary school too!

Great nursery with a lovely, kind and welcoming atmosphere. Our daughter loves going and has flourished. She comes home singing new tunes and showing us what's she's made. Often she tells us about playing with the other children and staff like they are all her friends. The mixed age group is great and 
the other parents are very welcoming too.
 

The Shepherd's Hut Outdoor Day Nursery has been an amazing experience for us as a family. Both our children have blossomed in so many ways since starting here almost two years ago. As parents it has been so nice knowing that we are sending our children into a nurturing environment that focuses on learning through playing/exploring outdoors. We wish we could stay for longer... but time to move to the next adventure. We will be taking with us fond memories and a growing love for outdoor exploration. This is a beautiful place with amazing staff... We would highly recommend.

I thought I would share this ‘moment’ with you, because it was just so precious...
We have just read Peter Pan and our son said that Forest School is just like Neverland. I agreed, and said that there is a pirate ship, and you make treasure maps. He corrected me and said, “No, it’s because all the boys and girls are always happy”. Thinking that that couldn’t be topped, he then said, “Kim ‘n’ Erica and Hannah are like Wendy, and Callie looks like Tinkerbell”.
Well...as parents, what else could you possibly wish for for your children?! 
Thank you all so much for making their lives so magical!
