Natured Kids

A great idea and great fun! A well organised playgroup that centres around getting kids outdoors and involved in learning about elements of the local environment through songs, craft and activities led by the highly capable Narelle. Highly recommend!

We love natured kids!!! Every session is packed full of fun activities and learning opportunities in our beautiful outdoors! We have enjoyed every session together and made many beautiful memories. Highly recommend!

We look forward to Natured Kids all week. Narelle’s passion for the outdoors and amazing knowledge of plants and animals is shared in an enchanting, exciting and magical way that excites and inspires not only the children but myself! Getting outside whatever the weather and going on an adventure each week in the beautiful surroundings of Cruden farm has been the highlight of our year. After each session the children are motivated to head outdoors in our own backyard to hunt for bugs, go on a rainbow flower hunt, search for birds or pick flowers from the garden to make a picture. We have told friends near and far and now some are travelling quite a distance to join the fun.

I feel so lucky to have come across this beautiful nature play group, not only does my son Jack love it , I do too! It’s lovely learning about nature and just being outdoors letting the kids experience our beautiful local areas, as well as the special Cruden farm. Narelle is so wonderful with the children and has some great facts for the adults too! I recommend this too all my friends with young children

We thoroughly enjoy the sessions at Natured Kids. We look forward to venturing to a new location to explore each week, learning about various topics and engaging in fun and creative nature crafts, play, songs and stories. It has been nice for the children to develop the routine that natured kids brings, but also learn and do something different each time as well. It’s a really lovely program that gets us out and about!

Love Naturedkids! Have been attending for many years with my children and we have all enjoyed spending time creating special memories in the fresh air and the sun!

Natured Kids has given my son (21 months old) so many opportunities to learn about the world around him. Being outdoors and lots of hands on activities to immerse him in nature has been a highlight of our week. Narelle engages the kids and clearly loves what she does. The beautiful grounds of Cruden farm are the perfect setting and there is plenty of time to explore before or after the session as well.

I have been attending Natured Kids with the very talented and experienced Narelle Debenham for many years now and capturing priceless memories. The programs are first class for children, their parents, grandparents or carers in a nature setting. Young children connecting with nature and learning how to protect environments and species is very beneficial for our children’s future on this planet, as well as enhancing a child’s learning and development. There are several sessions and times to choose from if your family wants to join this fantastic group for ‘hands on learning’ in all seasons and weather conditions.

Natured Kids is the best playgroup we have attended! Narelle is kind and patient, very knowledgeable about everything outdoors and she comes up with the most fascinating activities!

Narelle runs wonderfully interesting and diverse sessions at beautiful outdoor locations along the Mornington peninsula. Each session offers a unique and fun way of keeping children busy and intrigued with the outdoor world. I love Narelle’s kind and positive energy and her ability to always ensure each session is an exciting hands on experience for all children to enjoy and explore. It is truely a highlight of the week for my 3yo!
