Get ready for Autumn Winter 2025/26.

Fostering deeper levels of connection remains high on the agenda for families looking to boost their physical and mental well-being. From experiencing the wonders of nature to building communities through open-source knowledge and systems, children are immersed in activities that fuel joy and appreciation of the people and planet.

Caregivers fall into two distinct categories this season, the adventurers; who encourage children to experience and explore freely, embracing the rapidly advancing tools and technologies they have at their disposal, and the safety seekers; who cocoon and protect, in a bid to restore a slower, steadier pace of growing up. This divide is demonstrated in the presence of trends which cross the line between analogue and digital, held together by a focus on cultivating innovation and creativity in young minds.
