Childhood,
deeply lived.

Narelo is a private members’ club for families, built around extraordinary childhood experiences in nature, creativity, movement and real-life adventure.

Our first Narelo home

Marbella

Opening this autumn. Madrid and Mallorca on the horizon.

One membership, an ongoing place.

Your child holds a place in their age group, not a slot in a schedule: one experience a week, out in the real world, with the same educators and the same small circle of friends.

What you’ll find at Narelo

Experiences that help children grow through nature, creativity, movement and real-life adventures, within a membership community where like-minded families grow together.

For children
From around age three, the year moves through five worlds. Younger children begin with movement, senses and connection, and grow into them.
For parents
Narelo creates meaningful experiences children look forward to, while giving parents trusted time they can count on. Community Mornings and Expert Insights are for the parents as much as the children.
Before your child is born
Bloom is a calm space for expecting mothers: time to slow down, connect with other women, and begin the Narelo journey before your child is born.

Five ways of meeting the world

Different worlds. Different experiences. Always something new to uncover.

The sea as a living place

Our experiences move through five worlds inspired by the real life around us, each opening new ways to explore, move, create and discover.

A place that grows with your child

Families can join at any point. Many begin before their child is born, and stay through the years that follow.

What every family can expect

  • Every child is known

    Not a name on a register. The educators know what your child is working on, what they find hard, and what they love.

  • Continuity

    The same faces, the same community, year after year. Children build on what came before instead of starting over each term.

  • A protected environment

    We keep groups small and the community carefully held. That is what makes the rest of it possible.

  • Belonging, not attendance

    Membership is closer to a second family than a place you drop your child off. Families are part of it too.

How families can experience Narelo

Some things are learned.
Others have to be lived.

Children will grow into a world we cannot fully predict. We can give them opportunities to think for themselves, move, create, decide, adapt and discover what they are capable of.

Four steps, and a conversation before anything else.

  1. 1

    Start a conversation

    Message us on WhatsApp. No form to fill in, and no application before we have spoken.

  2. 2

    We find the fit

    We ask how old your child is, then tell you which age group they belong to and what places are open.

  3. 3

    A family conversation

    Fifteen to twenty minutes together: who your family is, what you’re hoping for, and everything you want to ask.

  4. 4

    An invitation

    If it’s right on both sides, a personal invitation, the membership agreement and a start date.

We keep the community small and choose carefully. Not to be exclusive, but because small groups and a settled community are the whole point.

One experience a week: ninety minutes, a group of eight, the same educators. Experiences happen in our Marbella home and well beyond it: the beach, the forest, and the places where everyday life actually happens.

How do we join?
Start a conversation on WhatsApp. We find the right age group for your child, meet for a family conversation, and if it is right on both sides, send a personal invitation.

A childhood happens once.

Membership is opening to a small number of families. If Narelo feels like something your family has been looking for, we would love to meet you.
