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.
Another most awesome week has come to a close in the Fulham forest. We started off the week by creating a great structure that the children (with assistance) could practise their jumping skills on, jumping from what could only be described as a diving board, of course having some safety talks beforehand, to make sure we all knew how to do this safely.
We have had a wonderful week in the forest. Our Little Forest Folk-ers have revelled in bug hunting! Everyone has spent time carefully rolling logs over and identifying slugs, wood lice, spiders and bright green crickets. We’ve searched under leaves for insect eggs and found ladybird larvae and spiderlings.
This week we’ve had lots of sensory fun! Our week started with a sensory walkway where our little adventurers were encouraged to take off their shoes and step into boxes containing a whole host of wonderful textures: leaves, water and sand to name a few. They loved kicking off their wellies and feeling the sand between their toes.
We had a wonderfully sunny start this week at Paradise. Collectively, the children love climbing in the trees, grasping and stepping between the branches. Some pretending to be monkeys, with others being sloths. There's never a dull moment. At the crafts table, our educators Maria and Kate busily helped many of the children to make some exquisite fox masks. The children were only too happy to get involved with the scissors and glue!
