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 we have enjoyed the weather of all seasons, from warm spring sunshine to polar blasts and freezing rain which created amazing puddles to splash in, collect water from and of course to create pies and cakes.
This week we have excitedly welcomed mums and dads to the forest, along with some of the children and their families from our waiting list, for Stay and Play week.
With the strong winds finally leaving the forest, our Little Forest Folk-ers couldn't wait to get back to the forest and play. An exciting adventure walk in the morning gave children an opportunity to point out a large ball of jelly in a puddle.
This week has been full of exploration and experimentation. We started by trying a few different experiments using bicarbonate, vinegar, lemon juice and food colouring.
This week has seen a real focus on den building, both big enough for the children to play under and small enough for forest creatures to make their home.
This week storm Gareth has done his best to stop our fun, but he hasn’t quite managed! On Monday, we had a blustery day at Paradise but still managed to get outside for a play and to cook some fruit on the fire. Tuesday and Wednesday were our ‘different days’.
Paint with all the colours of the wind. With the wind gaining strength midweek, it was thought best to give our forest some alone time and enjoy the sanctuary of our Scout Hut.
When you have a windy spring day, there is only one thing to do...build and fly kites! With Christie's help, our children have been very creative with resources in their kite designs - taking nappy bags and applying the material to their kites.
