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 the weather has presented the children with a whole range of experiences, from mild mornings more suited to springtime to downpours that have left the forest floor covered in puddles and sticky mud.
“What’s this?” shouted a child a child one day early this week as they peered down onto the ground. A rounded, beautifully decorated piece of ceramic tried to break the surface of the mud underfoot.
We have had a fantastic wet week in the forest here at Wandsworth. Our Little Forest Folk-ers have continued their creative thinking, linking experiences from their home life and incorporating it into their play in the forest.

Confidence, courage and courtesy have permeated the forest this week! The children have shown a wonderful ability to tackle new challenges and overcome obstacles both physically and emotionally.
With winter well and truly here, the children and educators have been busy keeping active and warm! We have been quite nomadic with our days, doing light set ups so we can keep moving and exploring.
This week has thrown us into those cooler temperatures and thoroughly ensured that we all dug out our thermals, hats and scarves from the back of our wardrobes!
Some people might look at 20 waterproofed children and educators wandering through the forest on a bitterly cold day and question how on earth could that be fun?
It has been an exhilarating week in the forest here at Wandsworth. The children have shown us how well they have been able to adapt to the colder conditions with careful supervision and hard work from our wonderful staff.
Walking into the forest this week has been a delight on the senses! The forest has come alive with new shades of red, yellow and orange and the children were exited as they spotted the leaves glowing above their heads.
This week has seen the colours of our surroundings change dramatically with the green leaves of our enormous Plane Tree suddenly turning into glorious oranges, reds and browns carpeting the path to our forest area.
