“I've never seen my children play like this before”
Nature Nurture Outdoor Play has been designed to offer children the opportunity to learn naturally through movement, curiosity, imagination and exploration in a beautiful outdoor environment inspired by the EYFS framework.
This is far more than a play garden. Every area has been intentionally created to support development from 6 months upwards through meaningful, nature-led experiences that encourage confidence, creativity and connection.
I'm Niamh, and I've been a childminder for nearly 20 years. I'm incredibly proud to have been graded Outstanding by Ofsted three times throughout my career. I have an HND in Early Childhood Studies.
Alongside my professional experience in early years education, I'm also a mum to Emily and Jack, and granny to Joey and Adeline. These roles have given me not only professional knowledge, but also a deep personal understanding of just how important the early years truly are.
For over two years, I've also been volunteering in the café at The Haslemere Hub. I find The Haslemere Hub incredibly inspiring — not only because of the warm and welcoming community they've created, but also because of the opportunities, support, and kindness they provide to local people. I feel so excited and truly honoured that they have trusted me to transform their garden into a magical place for children to play, explore, imagine, and create special memories together.
I'm Emily and I'm proud to be part of the team at Nature Nurture. Growing up in a childminding household inspired my love for working with children and creating warm, nurturing environments where they feel happy, safe, and able to thrive.
As a mum to two beautiful children of my own, I also bring plenty of first-hand experience and understanding of what little ones enjoy and need from stay-and-play sessions.

“First time visiting this morning and what a beautiful place the nature garden is! My 2 year old son absolutely loved his time there! He was so engrossed and busy exploring all of the different sections. It was the perfect space to let him have fun in a safe and secure environment and for the first time, I was able to catch up with friends as he was kept so busy and happy throughout the session with so much to explore! Thank you for having us! We will be back!!”

“Nature Nurture garden is a lovely space for the children to explore and be inspired by all the beautifully thought out play spaces. From water play, dinosaurs, builders yard, bug exploring, gardening, painting, chalk board, fairy garden and more. My 4 childminding children had an amazing time and we will definitely be back!”

“We loved our first Nature Nurture session! The water play was a huge hit for the little boy I look after, who spent the morning exploring, splashing, and learning through play. The beautiful outdoor environment encouraged so much wonder, curiosity, and imagination. We're already looking forward to our next visit!”

“Such a brilliant idea to create an outdoor environment that is safe for little ones to explore independently whatever the weather”
