Welcome to Bramblewood 

Hello! I’m Gem, a mum of four, forest school leader, and an early years teacher with a love for playing and learning in nature. I created Bramblewood to give babies, toddlers, and their grown-ups a welcoming space to explore the outdoors, connect with others, and experience the deep calm of being away from every day distractions. 

Whether you’ve got a brand-new baby, a curious toddler, or you're simply in need of some time surrounded by nature, there’s a place here for you.

We explore the woods through sensory play, natural materials, seasonal stories, and songs. There’s always time for a brew and a natter too. A calm, playful space to connect with nature—whatever the weather!
