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.
There's been a definitive chill across the camp this week. Regardless, we’re deeply pleased to say that it seems to have had little effect on the children's spirits. The wooden platforms took center stage one afternoon as the children played a great game of 'The Floor is Lava.’ With our educators, Sam and Simon, conducting the game, the children went into a state of euphoria.
We have had a very fun time in our swampy and sludgy camp this week. The children handled the showers and streams of rain with inspirational fortitude. The weather has done little to deter their spirit of adventure!We have had a very fun time in our swampy and sludgy camp this week.

It's been a thoroughly brilliant week for us all on the common. We started out the week with our first adventure walk of the season! For some, their first ever adventure walk with us, which is delightful. We had a short walk down to Caesar's Well and the children had a blast walking beneath the autumnal canopy of auburn and bronze. When we returned, we were due a well-earned rest and a good story, so the children sat, sipping their water, and listened as Educator Luca read a somewhat dramatic reading of 'The Elephant and the Bad Baby.'
As the sun sets on another week of our second summer, we are grateful for this continuous warmth!
Water play has been aplenty, from making mud birthday cakes for one of our mini explorer’s fourth birthday, to a water hoist activity using a pulley clip to activate some paracord that is attached to a bucket of water, we attempted to reinvent our water play area to create a more physical challenge to our children.
It's been another joyful week at Wimbledon Common, in the slowly advancing autumnal colours. A carpet of brown and burgundy leaves lay about the camp. Fortunately, many of the children are very enthusiastic about raking the leaves up, leaving deep tracks for others to follow and play on. Our newest children continue to settle splendidly.
