We are very excited to announce we will be opening our Wandsworth Little Forest Folk this year. We’d love to invite you to our first Open Day on Friday 26th February 2016 to tell you all about it.
From 10am to 4pm our fabulous Wandsworth team will be available at the Naturescope centre on the common (next door to the Skylark cafe, just off Dorlcote Road) to tell you more about Little Forest Folk.
Our team of staff, managed by the energetic Lil Hansen along with our founder Leanna Barrett will look forward to meeting with all of our potential new families. Please come along to learn more about our concept, have a tour of our facilities, view our equipment and menus, meet our special team and understand why your children will utterly love to join us in our adventures.
Feel free to pop along at any time to join us as we will be there all day, however we will be holding information sessions at 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, 2.30pm & 3.30pm. To guarantee a place at an information session, you are welcome to book your family in, however we will do our best on the day to accommodate as many drop in families as we can fit into the centre.
On the day we shall be using the Naturescope garden area to give you a taste of the unique approach to play and learning that we offer in our predominantly forest based setting. You will have a chance to take a look at our equipment, chat to our staff about our concept and give your children a sense of how much fun we have at Little Forest Folk!

We look forward to seeing you then.
Little Forest Folk
Our Little Forest Folk-ers have been exploring a wonderful selection of books, not only about Halloween and autumn, but also celebrating Black History and learning about the achievements of those who brought positive change to the world.
As we step into October, a new forest of wonderful and vibrant colours unfolds before us - inviting us to wander and revealing new stories to the most inquisitive minds. This week, our little explorers have been more curious than ever.
We’ve reached the end of another wonderful week here at Little Forest Folk Morden! Our ears have been filled with beautiful stories and poems, while our hands have been busy mark making. ✨
What a fantastic week it has been for our Little Forest Folk-ers as we began our new learning theme, “Our Planet.” The children have shown so much curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm as they explored everything from ancient dinosaurs to the world we live in today. Their energy and imagination have made for a truly special week outdoors!
The Gruffalo lives in Fishpond Woods and for years the children have been walking past his house everyday without seeing him. This week, however, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Gruffalo, the fox and the owl! We then went onto site and saw the mouse’s reading house and the snake's log pile den. The children then had to find some more logs to help the snake rebuild his house, to help ensure he couldn’t be found by the Gruffalo!
More galactic fun continues in the forest! Safely back to earth.
This week we have continued to explore the concept of families. Who do we live with? Mummies, daddies, siblings, grandparents
We started the week hunting for mushrooms in the Arboretum. Our intrepid Little Forest Folk-ers set out on their adventure walk with maps of the Arboretum and laminated sheets to identify different types of fungi. It was wonderful to see the children excitedly point out landmarks and signposts that they saw on the map in real life.
First they transformed into billy goats on an exciting adventure all the way to the wetlands of Winkworth Arboretum. By the lake they looked for the right size sticks to be their billy goat horns and attached them to their head bands.
What a truly wonderful week it’s been in the forest! The season of change is in full swing and the children have fully embraced the magic of autumn. The crunch of leaves beneath their boots, the golden colours glistening in the sunshine and the fresh, earthy scent in the air have made every moment outdoors feel exciting and full of discovery.
This week at Forest Nursery, our little explorers embarked on a journey that blended the beauty of the natural world with the excitement of faraway places - real and imagined.
