I’m Charlotte Loving and I run Loving by Nature in my little home town of Dorchester, Dorset. I opened the shop in 2016 with the main aim of raising awareness about reusable nappies, and Cloth Nappy Ned joined me on my mission last year! I now have a whole range of reusable nappies, wooden toys, organic clothes and fun books for babies and children in store. I love visitors to the bricks and mortar shop but you can also find me online and on Instagram too.

Shop Type: I have both a bricks and mortar store in Dorset and an online shop

What you love about Ned: I love Ned’s cheeky little face, and I love that he is born in the South West! What’s not to love about Ned?!

Your Favourite Ned: Party Ned!!!

I’m Hannah and I run The Wooden Play Den, it all started after I had my little boy 7 years ago. I started finding interesting toys which weren’t readily available in High Street shops. A few years later and my little lady came along and they are both my chief product testers. We love finding toys that engage children and also offer learning opportunity.

Shop Type: Online Store

What you love about Ned: I love that Ned can be so much to so many different people and ages. Whether you are a baby who wants to fiddle with something or an adult which wants one as a mascot or in remembrance of something he is perfect!

Your Favourite Ned: My favourite Ned from the Rudi and Bear Collection is Twilight Ombré, I am a big fan of Purple and he sits proudly with my Logo Ned on my packing desk.

Turtley Eco is a business I’ve set up because I want to make a difference; single-use plastic is a huge threat to our oceans and marine animals. I have had a passion for the natural world from a young age and went on to study Wildlife Conservation at university. I am a strong believer in ‘small changes make a difference’ and I’m delighted to offer a wide range of plastic free alternatives through Turtley Eco!

Shop Type: Pop Up Shops in Leicestershire + Online Store

What you love about Ned: Plastic toys unfortunately will remain on our planet long after their use. Wooden toys are timeless, durable and made to last – unlike a lot of plastic toys on the market. I absolutely love the fact that each Ned is unique and handmade with love in the UK. Ned is a timeless toy that I know will be loved through generations!

Your Favourite Ned: Earth Ned
