Claire Warden's dream of enabling children to closely connect to nature has become reality with the opening of Auchlone Nature Kindergarten - only the second Nature Kindergarten in Scotland! Children from the ages of 2 to 12 years are offered the opportunity to experience the wonderful changing and nurturing world of the outdoor environment both in the garden and in the wild woodland site.

Children need to have access to nature so that they can connect to their world and therefore start the process
of understanding it. One of our underlying objectives at mindstretchers is to enable this to happen through the
creation of a dynamic network of enthusiastic people.

they are not scared to have a go, to try out a new method without fear of failure.
