Our team of staff, managed by the energetic Lil Hansen along with our founder Leanna Barrett will look forward to meeting with all of our potential new families. Please come along to learn more about our concept, have a tour of our facilities, view our equipment and menus, meet our special team and understand why your children will utterly love to join us in our adventures.

Little Forest Folk

Fun in the forest

Winkworth - Bluebells, Blossom and Woodpeckers Galore!

The bluebells are starting to show, the trees are filled with pink and white blossoms, there are woodpeckers everywhere and it really feels like Spring is here! The children have had lots of opportunities to develop their fine and gross motor skills with activities out in the forest and back at the cottage too.

Wimbledon Village -Easter Fun and an Egg and Spoon Race

Easter fun has been the theme this week! We started the week by saying goodbye to one of our families, who are relocating. They kindly gifted us some bird feeders, so we decided to go on an adventure walk on the child’s last day to find places to hang these special gifts up! Children enjoyed finding high-up places for them and we have said we will go back and check how the feeders are doing when we next go out on a walk!

On Tuesday, Shahana got the children to line up, as it was time for our egg and spoon race!

Wimbledon - Peter Pan and the Pirates are Back!

This week we have focused on expanding our role play and imaginative minds, that’s right, Peter Pan and our pirates are back! We have added to our experiences by learning how to make treasure maps at the scout hut

Twickenham - Bunny Masks for Old Friends and New!

With spring blooming all around the forest we have had fun at the craft table making bunnies and chicks. We made bunny masks with colourful ears, long whiskers and multicoloured furry faces. create pictures and cards for friends and family members.

Putney Heath - Easter Themed Activity in the Forest

The children have settled quickly into the forest, exploring, playing and learning together. Their curiosity, creativity and energy have been a joy to watch as they dive into our Easter-themed activities.

Morden - ⭐️ Water, Air and Sunlight!” 🎶

We made our own paper flowers, carefully folded their petals and then placed them in water to watch them slowly open up like real blossoms 🌸 It was such a magical moment! During this, we also learned about photosynthesis and even picked up a new song: “If you want to know how a plant grows, it takes water, air and sunlight!” 🎶

Fulham - 💛 Our Little Bunnies and an Easter Obstacle Course

We had a Rabbit tunnel consisting of two climbing frames made out of pallets and a hula-hoop with two long bunny ears. This was part of our challenging Easter obstacle course. Our little bunnies had lots of fun climbing, going down the rabbit hole through the hula-hoop and the pile of tires, balancing between logs and crossing different sizes of planks. While the little ones used the tunnel as their secret and cosy rabbit hole home, the oldest enjoyed playing Jenga for many turns!🥚🌼🐰

Chiswick - Bow Saws, Palm Drills to Wooden Spinners

This week, we placed a strong focus on tool work, building on the children’s skills and confidence. The children had the opportunity to use bow saws and palm drills, creating their very own wooden spinners - this was a big highlight and they were incredibly proud of their creations! It was also a fantastic continuation of last week’s work, where we practiced splitting wood using mallets.

Winkworth - Bluebells in Bloom and Tree Climbing

What a glorious week in the forest we have had. Our site in the Arboretum is covered in bluebells with some already out in bloom and some we are eagerly waiting to pop open with colour.

Wimbledon Village -Cold, Rain, Hail and Sunshine!

This week the weather has thrown all the seasons at us! Cold, wet, hail and sun! Not to worry, this weather has been great for us to carry on with our growing projects!

On one of our outings we walked to the village to purchase some potatoes to plant. On the way there we took some time to enjoy a lovely snack on the bench whilst watching all the wildlife on the pond. We then took it in turns to feed the ducks, swans and geese whilst discussing the differences between them all.
