Our mission

Little Bugs Nurseries offer fully outdoor settings in the Scottish woodlands, providing children aged 2 to 12 with unique learning experiences through nursery care 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.
