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.
We ended a brilliant week making some wonderful creations using the junk modelling resources. Using cardboard boxes, toilet tubes, lids and other recycled objects, the children worked together to build a rocket. They even added red and yellow tissue paper to the back to create some fierce fire to help the rocket fly.
As the summer holidays draw to a close, we have had a bittersweet week in the forest. We have been very excited to meet some new friends and introduce them to our wonderful environment. However, we have also bid a fond farewell to many old friends who are now making the transition from forest to classroom.
We ended a fantastically creative week with some incredible rain, which of course provided us with some perfect puddles for us to jump in. The children had great fun running around the forest and the cricket pitch finding different puddles for them all to jump in and together we noticed that some puddles were bubbling.
This week saw the creation of one of the best dinosaur dioramas we have ever seen, using entirely natural materials. We particularly enjoyed seeing how a team of around six children of all ages played so well together, communicating ideas, and sharing resources in a way that amplified fun and engagement for all.
