The Secret Garden Outdoor Nursery is a community led project that offers a fulltime outdoor preschool care service and education in the
Howe of Fife, for children aged 3-5 years.
Our vision is to provide a spacious play environment in local woodland and countryside that offers the child an opportunity to develop curiosity and learning through engagement with nature, the seasons and the elements.
With child and adult made structures that offer shelter and
warmth we believe that each child will be made to feel comfortable and at ease
within the natural environment regardless of the weather! Our staff are trained
and experienced in working in the outdoor environment and facilitate a unique
opportunity for local children to grow from and with nature.

What The Parents Say…….
"In comparison to the other days of the week, when my son is
in an indoor nursery, its obvious a whole other side of who he is is
expressed in the woods. An important part of him has the space to come alive
running and playing in the endless space of the woods."
“His confidence has improved and he is much keener to get into the garden or go to our local woods whatever the weather”
“In attending SG our boys will have fostered a lifelong interest in nature and the outdoors”
“The Secret Garden is a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can develop, physically, mentally and emotionally at their own pace”
“A sense of place … so fundamental to being able to respect, nurture and protect the earth … it comes from frequent exposure to being with and walking on the earth so that it comes from within the individual, from the heart”
“They develop an appreciation of physical potential and limits, and a sensible attitude to risk taking, co-ordination, strength and self esteem”
