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.
We have been singing our hearts out this week with more and more children starting up Christmas carols with friends joining in or simply starting to request more of the songs that have been introduced over the last couple of months!
What a fabulous, merry and joyous week we have had in the forest. We have weathered a variety of weather, but oblivious to all of that the children have happily got on with all their chosen activities.
It’s that time of year again where we build up to the christmas break and say goodbye, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our friends in the forest.
All hands were on deck this week as the children converted the obstacle course into a make shift hospital ward! Scaffolding planks became beds with pallet boards serving as headboards.
Our morning walks to the forest have been so special this week with the children enjoying singing, storytelling and exploring as we make our way to site.
This week has been very creatively explorative. Our children have experimented with music and sounds as well as creative projects based in clay, paint, construction and role play!
It has been a wonderful week in the forest, a week in which the children have their used fine motor skills to great extent to create fun and interesting objects.
This week the children have excitedly welcomed Jack Frost to the forest! With the frost covering the grass, brambles and trees, the children have been observing these changes and sharing their observations with their friends and educators around them.
All about Leaves! The forest floor is carpeted with an abundance of colourful leaves at the moment. Most of the trees have recently turned bare but the floor is glowing a wonderful golden colour!
Imaginative adventure walks and the children leading the way! We have truly had a week of wonder and awe as we explored our forest this week. The children have been extra imaginative on our adventure walks and have been leading the play through their ideas and directions.
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.
