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.
Holiday campers have continued to fill our forests this week and it has been lovely to see how quickly some of these new faces have settled into our forest routines.
With the countdown to Easter well underway we have welcomed our regular children and holiday campers back for a second week of Easter holiday activities in the forest.
What a lovely week we have had in the sun! Hats have been swapped for sun glasses, fleeces swapped for t-shirts and the spring waterproofs have been donned again.
It is the end of the second week of holiday camps and the sun has been shining on Wimbledon. Our children have loved nothing more than getting out of their waterproof jackets and into high visibility vests.
This week we have once again welcomed holiday campers into the forest and as always it has been lovely to see some familiar faces returning as well as getting to know some new children.
The Easter school holidays finally arrived and so our forest has benefited from a number of siblings and older children joining in with our Spring adventures.
This week we have had some enthusiastic adventures into nature. We have found an abundance of different flora and fauna with the children using their powers of detection to find things that even the most trained adults would miss.
Our week started with a lovely day at Kew. Upon arrival at the gates, we noticed that they had signs telling us where to find different flowers; Cherry blossoms, Magnolias, Glory of the snow, Camellias and Daffodils.
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.
