Crossing our fingers for nice weather definitely paid off as we have had another week of glorious sunshine in Chiswick with temperatures reaching mid to high 20’s and even creeping into the 30’s...
Chiswick - Glorious Sunshine
We have been graced with the sun’s presence in the forest every day this week and as a result everyone’s spirits have been even higher than normal. It’s amazing what a bit of sun can do for our health and well being. The children have really surprised us this week with how nicely they have been playing in naturally formed small groups...

Chiswick - Santa ready!
The build up to Christmas has had us all super excited. Two more days to be good so that we can get all the special presents we’ve asked for from Santa. We told the children we’d forgotten to write up our lists for Santa and asked them if they could help us think of things to put on it. There were lots of creative suggestions...

Chiswick - Christmas is coming
We introduced some musical instruments at the beginning of the week and used them while we sang along to Navedad Navedad, When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney and Jingle Bells. Our Little Forest Folk favourite has been Naveda Naveda. It’s amazing how quickly our children have picked up songs in different languages...
Chiswick - Splash, dig, climb, roll!
Chiswick - Rainy play
It has been a wet week but much to the children's delight, where other nurseries may have been focused on indoor play due to the weather, our Little Forest Folk children have been having a blast in the rain. The children were looking for muddy puddles to splash around in and they found a large puddle in the meadow where they spent a long time playing, jumping and running through it.
