About Narelo

What is Narelo?
Narelo is a private members’ club built around extraordinary childhood experiences that help children grow through nature, creativity, movement and real-life adventures, within a membership community where like-minded families grow together.
Which ages does Narelo welcome?
From pregnancy to around the age of eight, in seven age groups from Bloom to Navigators. Families can join at any point, and many begin before their child is born.
Is Narelo childcare or a school?
No. Narelo is not a class, a nursery, a play centre or another activity. Narelo is a membership your family belongs to.
What does a week look like?
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.
Where is Narelo?
Our first Narelo home is in Urb. El Rosario, Marbella, and opens this autumn. Madrid and Mallorca are on the horizon.
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.

The weekly experience

How long is a Narelo experience?
Ninety minutes. Long enough to settle, explore and stay centred, and short enough that nothing is rushed.
How many children are in a group?
Around eight, in groups by age. Small enough that every child is known by name, not managed as a crowd.
How many experiences are in a season?
Twelve, one a week through the term, so the year builds instead of restarting.
Do parents stay?
Younger groups may include a parent. Older children come on their own.
Where do the experiences happen?
In our Marbella home in Urb. El Rosario and well beyond it: the beach, the forest, and the places where everyday life actually happens.

Visiting and joining

Can we visit the Narelo home?
Yes, by appointment. Our first Narelo home is at Urb. el Rosario, C. los Limoneros, Local B, 29604 Marbella. Write to us on WhatsApp to arrange a visit.
Can we join if our child is not born yet?
Yes. Narelo begins in pregnancy with Bloom, and many families join before their child is born.
Is there a place for every family who asks?
Membership is opening to a small number of families. We meet every family for a conversation first, and if it is right on both sides, we send a personal invitation.
Will Narelo open in Madrid or Mallorca?
Madrid and Mallorca are on the horizon. If your family lives there, start a conversation with us on WhatsApp and we will keep you close.

What are Nurture and The Nest?
Narelo’s age groups for babies and toddlers in Marbella. Nurture (0 to 1) is about sensing, connecting and discovering together; The Nest (1 to 2) about movement and growing independence. Parents take part in both.Find out more
What are Signature Saturdays?
Special Saturday experiences for children in Marbella, designed by Narelo for discovery, creativity and adventure. They are additional to the weekly experience and draw on the Five Worlds.Find out more
Is it a summer camp?
Not in the usual sense. Narelo is not a class, a play centre or another activity, and its holiday experiences are curated in the same spirit: fewer children, real places and educators who give children space to find their own way.

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.
