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.
What have we done to deserve such glorious weather this week!? On Monday, we moved our setup around at Paradise Gardens, to allow for activities to take place in the shadier parts of the gardens. We enjoyed swinging on a tree swing underneath one of the big trees! To encourage fair sharing, we created a pretend ticketing system, which allowed the children to understand whose turn it was, and whose turn it would be next, this meant that everyone had an equal amount of turns on the swing.
It has been another wonderful week in the forest. The weather has been, like football, a game of two-halves, with cloudy mornings replaced by sunny afternoons. This is soon to change as we approach much warmer days next week. Please remember to pack a full water bottle and sun hat in your little ones’ bags. We will re-apply sun cream to all children with permission but do ask all families to apply some before arriving at the forest.
What a week we have had, learning about lots of different animal habitats and how we can look after where the animals live. With the bugs and birds in the forest, the children have been making their own bird feeders, revamping the bug hotel with nice new wooden logs, as well as leaving out yummy seeds and mealworms and little water bowls all around for the animals so they can stay hydrated in this very lovely sunny weather.
