Little Forest Folk Wandsworth Open Day

We are very excited to announce we will be opening our Wandsworth Little Forest Folk this year. We’d love to invite you to our first Open Day on Friday 26th February 2016 to tell you all about it.

From 10am to 4pm our fabulous Wandsworth team will be available at the Naturescope centre on the common (next door to the Skylark cafe, just off Dorlcote Road) to tell you more about Little Forest Folk.

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.

Feel free to pop along at any time to join us as we will be there all day, however we will be holding information sessions at 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, 2.30pm & 3.30pm. To guarantee a place at an information session, you are welcome to book your family in, however we will do our best on the day to accommodate as many drop in families as we can fit into the centre.

On the day we shall be using the Naturescope garden area to give you a taste of the unique approach to play and learning that we offer in our predominantly forest based setting. You will have a chance to take a look at our equipment, chat to our staff about our concept and give your children a sense of how much fun we have at Little Forest Folk!

We look forward to seeing you then.

Little Forest Folk

Fun in the forest

Chiswick - Confidence, Balance and Coordination

The children enjoyed climbing on the ladder that we made together, developing their confidence, balance and coordination while encouraging one another to take safe risks.

Fulham - Ball Play, Climbing and Navigating the Trees

This week our children buzzed with the rhythm of dancing bees, travelling from flower to flower as they explored the wider park. Their curiosity set the pace, and what a wonderful pace it was.

Children tested their abilities in all kinds of physical challenges: running, ball play, climbing, and navigating their way under and around trees. There was a real sense of stepping out of comfort zones and challenging themselves to do a little more.

Morden - ⭐️ Fun and New Activities

Our week we have been focused on our little ones' literacy development. We have had a variety of fabulous activities which our adventurers have done an amazing job with.

Putney Heath - Exciting pirate Adventures, Creative Activities and Lots of Music

This week our forest has been filled with exciting pirate adventures, creative activities, music and lots of imaginative sea-themed play. The children arrived each day full of enthusiasm and positive energy, ready to explore all the exciting experiences prepared for them.

Twickenham - International Museum Day Activities

To mark International Museum Day, we turned the forest into a child-led “museum” experience. Our little explorers explored water in many different ways, experimenting with movement and flow using a range of containers and equipment. They tested floating objects they had constructed themselves and carefully watched how they travelled through the water. Water play has continued throughout the week, with the children thoughtfully gathering items to embed in water ready for a freezing experiment next week.

Wimbledon - Fishing Hooks, Knot Tying and Forget-Me-Nots

Back at base camp, some of the children continued their recent fascination with making fishing hooks, practising their knot-tying skills with great concentration and perseverance. Later in the day, we identified some of the insects we had spotted amongst the forget-me-nots and ground ivy.

Wimbledon Village - Our Giant Forest Map!

We created a big map on the tuff tray, adding trees and all the things we find in the forest after it was drawn. We had a great time ageing it with mud leaves and tea bags.

Winkworth - Planks, Tyres and Loose Parts

The children also challenged themselves on our obstacle course using planks, tyres and loose parts, developing balance, coordination and confidence.

Chiswick - A Home Made Ladder and an Exciting Climbing Challange

The children also worked together to help make a climbing ladder using strong sticks. They showed fantastic teamwork and determination while learning how to climb safely and challenging themselves by climbing up high. It has been lovely to see their confidence continue to grow.

Fulham - Sparkling Imaginations, Magic Wands and Curious Minds

This week we stepped into Fairyland! With sparkling imaginations, magic wands and curious minds. We embraced a magical theme whilst developing literacy skills. We practised phonological awareness, such as spotting rhymes and identifying the same initial sounds.
