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.
This week in the forest we have been making the most of the gorgeous sunshine by going on lots of adventure walks and have been busy collecting all the different types of coloured leaves.
On adventures and long walks to basecamp, the children have engaged in lots of different games. On one day the children came to the cricket pitch to find a machine making holes in the ground for extra drainage.
This week the forest floor has become a carpet of Autumn leaves and mostly this week we have played in golden sunshine with fresh, Autumnal air that has surprised us with not being too chilly.
We are deep into the Autumn months now and some of the changes around us are paving the way for Winter. Such a sign is the huddling of ladybirds and some children have observantly discovered this happening whilst on their adventure walks.
We have had a very creative and adventurous week, filled with smiles and laughter in the bright sunshine. The children have had so much enjoyment from creating different pieces of art and construction of which they have added to throughout the week.
This week in the forest started off really sunny and warm but has now turned into crisp Autumn weather. We have learnt all about fog and mist and have been able to explore dew and frost with the children in all parts of the forest.
What a wonderful week it has been in the forest! From cold crispy days, to warm sunshine in the afternoons, foggy cold mornings and a bit of rain to indulge our muddy puddles!
This week started with a blustery day on the meadow with children embracing the wind! They created their own wind dances with different fabrics and used their superhero capes to show off their moves whilst experimenting with how to use the wind to enhance the look!
The crisp, cold air, soft blue skies and colourful falling leaves is such a beautiful time of the year and this week has been gorgeous, dressed up in all its autumnal finery.
The meadow glistened in the morning frost, the trees swayed with their last few leaves and the puddles have grown from the showers. The forest is constantly showing us something new, and this week has been no exception!
What a half term it’s been! It has been a true delight to welcome back some familiar faces to the forest for holiday camps, along with some new friends too!
The children in the forest this week have fully embraced the Autumnal weather. We have had some torrential rain, and gusts of winds that have made for an exhilarating experience.
It’s been holiday camp this week, and we have joyfully welcomed back children who left in August as well as children new to the forest experience, and boy have we all had a great time!
As the mornings are now light and the evenings are noticeably darker, our spirits remain bright, unlike the dark, crisp autumnal leaves that lay on the ground.
No matter what the weather, at Wimbledon we know how to make the best out of any situation! We have had heavy rain downpours, blustery winds and hail this week, but it hasn’t stop us from having lots of fun!
Time is flying so quickly; we cannot believe it’s the weekend already! What an array of weather we have had again as well. From 17 degrees and glorious sunshine, to an incredibly wet but fun-filled Wednesday.
