Auchlone Nature Kindergarten is an award winning early years centre (for 2 to 5 year olds) based near Crieff in Scotland. The children spend over 80% of their time outdoors while at Auchlone. Being a nature kindergarten is so much more than that. Whether we are inside, outside or beyond, we use nature to learn and provide children with authentic opportunities that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
In 2006 Mindstretchers opened the first outdoor Nature Kindergarten in Scotland, Whistlebrae. The site later moved to Auchlone Nature Kindergarten near Crieff, Scotland, in 2009. The implementation of the Nature Kindergarten philosophy has resulted in Auchlone being considered sector leading and recognised internationally. Over the last few years Auchlone has been a finalist and winner for many different awards, including NMT’s Outdoor Learning Environment 2016 and Nursery World’s Nursery of the Year 2016.
