It's been such an amazing journey from dreaming about creating an incredible, inspiring, active, fascinating and fun experience for my own children to now running a completely full and even oversubscribed Wimbledon forest setting. With our second setting opening in Chiswick next week and more London settings in the pipeline for the future it is wonderful to see the support we have for giving children the childhood they deserve.
Being interviewed by the lovely Alix from The Telegraph and showing off our magical setting and our lovely children was a really special moment for us.
We are so proud of our children, our teams, our movement and Little Forest Folk in general.
Are we allowed to admit it made us a little teary with pride?! :-)

This week we have been focusing on our emotions. We used our zones of regulation to explore how we are feeling with 4 colours: red, blue, yellow and green.
We have had a wonderful week at Little Forest Folk Chiswick filled with imaginative play, exploration, and plenty of opportunities to learn through nature.
What a wonderful way to finish our last days of the Summer Term in the forest! It has been a week full of facepaint, football and a celebration of all the countries and cultures in the world! With the summer holidays just around the corner, many children shared their travel plans. Combined with the excitement of the football season, this week’s theme was all about imagining holidays around the world and celebrating our Forest World Cup. 🏆🌈
This week has been filled with exciting adventures, imaginative play, and wonderful opportunities for the children to explore, create, and learn through meaningful experiences in our forest environment. From storytelling and creative art to sensory exploration and scientific discovery, the children embraced each activity with enthusiasm and curiosity.
It’s a sad time for us in the forest this week as many of our older children leave for the summer holidays before heading off to big school.
Writing this newsletter feels like the end of a journey at Little Forest Folk for a lot of you, this is a sad but exciting moment as you are now all off to big school
What a wonderful week we've had enjoying the forest while making the most of the beautiful sunshine! With the warmer weather continuing, we've been finding lots of creative ways to stay cool while still exploring, learning and having plenty of fun outdoors.
