“ The best classroom and the richest cupboard are roofed only by the sky”
A place where children can experience the true wonders of nature, where they can learn from plants and insects whilst allowing them to play and be creative with natural resources.
Welcome to Little Bugs Nursery
Little Bugs Nurseries offer fully outdoor settings in the Scottish woodlands, providing children aged 2 to 12 with unique learning experiences through nursery care, after-school clubs, and flexible schooling options. Our locations include Fordell Firs in Dunfermline and Abercorn on the Hopetoun Estate near South Queensferry.
We focus on child-led, play-based learning, encouraging exploration, creativity, and curiosity. Using national frameworks such as the Curriculum for Excellence, we support children’s development with a nurturing approach.
Our ethos emphasises risky play to build resilience and confidence, while fostering an understanding of sustainability and stewardship of the environment. We aim to reconnect children with nature, prioritising their health, well-being, and development through outdoor learning.

This nursery is second to none. If you want an absolute unique and idyllic setting, way beyond your usual curriculum adventures and remarkably professional, friendly and caring practitioners for your child to thrive, look no further. My child has been going for almost a year and we have both benefitted hugely from her attending. Don’t think twice about sending your wee one(s) here, you will not regret it.
