We provide a unique and enriching early childhood environment where children can explore, discover, and develop their potential to the fullest.
Our Ethos
Our outdoor nursery concept stems from the deep-rooted belief that immersing children in natural surroundings promotes a holistic learning experience. We encourage exploration, discovery, and creative expression, while fostering a sense of respect and responsibility towards the environment.
Who We Are
Alison Latta and Debbie Simmers, founders and long-time friends, recognized the need for a nature-inspired learning environment in Glasgow. Their passion for the outdoors and their commitment to early childhood development led to the inception of Woodland Outdoor Kindergartens in 2009.
