Welcome to Little Forest Folk Chiswick
Our Full Day children start the day at the Hogarth Centre. We welcome children when they are dropped off in the mornings and they are able to enjoy lots of free play time. Our little ones enjoy a hearty, nutritious breakfast to prepare them for a day of fun and physical activity in the great outdoors, before getting their outdoor gear on in preparation for our adventures to begin.
Each day we set up camp at Chiswick House & Gardens where our Sessional Day friends join us. Our base is made up of cosy pop-up sleeping tents, a nappy changing tent, a toilet tent and a hand washing station. Activities can range from treasure hunts, climbing trees, building dens and creative play to reading stories, mark making and mathematics (counting leaves, acorns, feathers, dividing, sharing, combining) in the forest. On Fridays we have Wild Cooking Fridays, exploring all things food related and honing our little chef skills.
We enjoy our morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack out in the forest, then towards late afternoon we say goodbye to our sessional friends and start to make our way back to our base at Hogarth Centre where our full day children enjoy a delicious dinner. Here we will take the time to reflect upon our day and discuss with the children what they enjoyed the most, using these discussions to help us plan our activities for the next day.
Sessions at Little Forest Folk Chiswick
There are two options for attending Little Forest Folk Chiswick, a Full Day (year around) or a Sessional Day (term time only). Full Days run 8:00am to 6pm (Fridays until 3:30pm), include breakfast, lunch and dinner, whereas Sessional Days are shorter days running 9:30am to 3:30pm, which includes lunch. Both include a morning and afternoon snack. We ask for a minimum commitment of at least two days per week per child and we can only enrol children once they have turned 2.
Our waiting lists for 2024 & 2025 are open for families to sign up for a place
