00:00New scientific research increasingly shows just how important nature is for
00:05our physical and psychological well-being. Nature is such an extraordinary
00:10environment for us all and in this tech driven digital age spending quality time
00:15outdoors has never been more important. This project is about exploring how
00:20nature, creativity and relationships can best support the healthy development of
00:25babies and young children. We believe that taking a whole child approach is
00:30important and nature becomes a wonderful place to explore how we can
00:34successfully nurture their social and emotional skills, the skills that
00:39underpin lifelong health and well-being. My hope is that through this practical
00:45nature-based research we can build supportive environments that help make
00:49nature more accessible benefiting babies young children and their families across
00:55the UK.
