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.
Along with a continued interest in make believe cooking in our mud kitchen, the children have been showing an increasing interest in our forest aviary friends.
A short week and an emotional week! The children heading off to school have had their last plays in the forest this week and it is with both sadness and excitement that we say goodbye to our special friends. Keep in touch!
This week in the forest the children have enjoyed the wonderful late summer sunshine to the fullest. They have worked together on some fantastic projects showing amazing collaboration and communication skills as they negotiated and shared their ideas.
What a start to the week we had with the heavens opening up and unleashing a serious downpour of rain! The children soon churned up the mud and became mud monsters as they slid down the muddy slide we had made.
Our beautiful Twickenham site, having felt lonely since April, was brought to life this week with the first group of full day children who arrived with their playful curiosity at the ready!
This week we have been harvesting vegetables and wild flowers in our allotment. The produce has been fantastic this year, with the children being able to try lots of home grown (by them) veggies and some even taking some home to share with their families!
Our summer campers excelled themselves in rope work this week with some truly spectacular and intricate creations being strung up in between the trees.
This week in the forest we took a stroll all the way back to the fifteenth century. The children have loved making bows and arrows before firing them and seeing just how close to the targets they could get.
Through the rain, sun and wind, the children have been brilliant this week and have made the most of the natural wonders that are so unique to this late summer/early autumn period of the year.
With their creative juices flowing this week, the children have taken natural craft to the next level using a range of materials to make amazing things!
Well here we are at the end of yet another fun and laughter filled week of summer camp. As always, the site has inspired so many ideas and play opportunities for the children.
Each day we have enjoyed using our metal detector to see what hides just below the soil in our base camp and the children talked excitedly about what they thought they might find.
This week we have used the fire twice to participate in some cooking experiences. Spike led us in a vegan hot dog cooking session, which of course the children were very happy to lend a hand in eating!
