Following the announcement of our Queen’s award in April, we are delighted to share an article written about Little Forest Folk by a journalist who visited us in May.
We’ve been bursting with excitement and now that it’s the Queen’s birthday and the official announcement day, we are absolutely delighted to finally share with you the news that Little Forest Folk has been given the royal seal of approval.
Following our being selected by Tatler as being one of the finest nurseries in the nation last month, we are now delighted to share with you an article written about Little Forest Folk by a journalist who visited us in our Wimbledon setting a few weeks ago.
Well, this weekend was the long awaited Nursery World Awards! It was a fabulous event and we were delighted to be recognised in such a large industry such as the early years to be one of the industry leaders.
‘Wouldn’t we all secretly like to be Little Forest Folk?' We are incredibly excited and proud to be included once again in the prestigious annual Tatler Nurseries Guide.
This week has been a busy week with such a variety of opportunities in the forest and friendships are continuing to blossom. The children have been the most creative explorers throughout the entire time and made the most of what was on offer.
It has been a week of celebration being awarded the Queens award for innovation! This week our Wandsworth site was nominated to be visited by the Evening Standard newspaper that was printed on Thursday 26th April – see page 3!
This week we had a little ‘set-up guru’ swap at Little Forest Folk. Sam, who sets up amazingly at Wimbledon went to the Wandsworth site and we had Amy and Katy from Wandsworth joining us at Wimbledon.
Some dry and sunny weather at last! This week has been pure joy as we explored all of our favourite spaces on site. We spent some time in base camp, on the meadow and in the mud kitchen area.
Glorious! Wonderful, life-giving sunshine has filled our week. It seems that mother nature has flipped a switched and it only feels like last like week we were wrapping ourselves up in 4, 5…8 layers with gloves and hats.
Our last week of spring holiday camps has been simply fantastic! We have so enjoyed spending time with the holiday campers and look forward to having them back again!
3, 2, 1 – Blast Off! It has been a fantastic last week with our holiday campers. We travelled through lands far, far away on our rocket ship visiting our favourite planets on the way.
Our second week of holiday camp has been such an exciting (although muddy) week in the forest and as always, the excitement levels from the children have been sky high.
A very wet week to start with but this did not dampen our spirits. We welcomed some new holiday campers on Monday who were very interested in building obstacles using logs, sticks and twigs.
This week we saw the return of our beloved Holiday Camps! It was lovely to see some familiar faces returning to the forest and the children have all played so well together, sharing their experiences and knowledge with one another in the beautiful forest environment.
On Monday we believed that spring had truly sprung! The children requested to swap their jackets for high-visibility vests at a record speed and we were even lucky enough to spot the odd butterfly floating around!
Over at Paradise over the last few weeks we’ve had lots of opportunities for learning about how to light, stay safe and have fun round a camp fire and our Little forest Folkers are taking it all in their stride!
