Following the announcement of our Queen’s award in April, we are delighted to share an article written about Little Forest Folk by a journalist who visited us in May.
We’ve been bursting with excitement and now that it’s the Queen’s birthday and the official announcement day, we are absolutely delighted to finally share with you the news that Little Forest Folk has been given the royal seal of approval.
Following our being selected by Tatler as being one of the finest nurseries in the nation last month, we are now delighted to share with you an article written about Little Forest Folk by a journalist who visited us in our Wimbledon setting a few weeks ago.
Well, this weekend was the long awaited Nursery World Awards! It was a fabulous event and we were delighted to be recognised in such a large industry such as the early years to be one of the industry leaders.
This week has been one of the most anticipated so far this year as we had the arrival of our five duckling eggs on Monday. Our explorers were very excited and eager to see them. Some were a bit confused as to why they were in an incubator and had some questions like 'why haven’t they hatched yet?' or 'what are they inside?' which gave us the opportunity to talk and explain what the incubator does to help the ducklings grow. The entire experience from the duck eggs arriving to watching small chips and cracks appearing on the eggs was very exciting for everyone.
Our Little Forest Folk-ers have been focusing on our emotions this week - we have had some lovely activities themed around recognising emotions and emotional regulation. The children loved jumping into an activity where they could play with different features on a paper face, they would talk about how they thought the face was feeling, and how they could feel better to bring their smile back!
Happy New Year from Little Forest Folk Morden! Our first few days back have been a great chance to catch up with our friends and share stories of our lovely celebrations with our families! It's been wonderful to see how far the children's language progresses in such short times when talking about these milestones of the year. We've really enjoyed taking our time at meal times to sit with each other and give the children some lovely, calm social time with each other.
