In November 2025 we visited Bramblewood to video instances of babies spending time outdoors to explore what babyNENE might look like in practice. We found lovely examples of nature engaging and nature enhancing that centred around four themes, we’ve produced short (approx. 4min) videos to demonstrate each one. We are intending to add more films throughout the year.
Being in nature together
Here we share four short clips that demonstrate the ways in which babies and their adults may spend time in nature together, e.g. by building a hedgehog habitat, reading a story, touching herbs or simply sitting on their adult’s lap outdoors.
Moving and learning in nature
These four clips demonstrate ways that babies move in nature, from lying, crawling, pulling themselves up and toddling.
Using our senses in nature
In these clips we share instances of how engaging with nature can offer babies the opportunity to taste, touch and smell.
Noticing nature
These clips give examples of babies noticing nature, including through listening to sounds, looking at leaves and experiencing the wind.
