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.
At the beginning of the week the children were fascinated by how the chillier temperatures changed the outdoor environment. There was lots of frozen puddles which were so enjoyable to break and many frosty tree stumps perfect for making glove prints. With the colder weather the educators have had to ensure children stay warm.
It’s been such an amazing week in the forest. The children have fully immersed themselves in the Autumn spirit and are absolutely loving the joys of playing with the fallen leaves! From walking on top of them and listening to the crunchy sounds they make, to gathering them into a pile and creating a “Volcano the size of the solar system”!
Colourful crispy leaves continue to flutter down all around us, and the forest floor has been hidden in a sea of beautiful hues, brimming with potential for unparalleled play! Following the lead of educators, children have been dragging their legs through them, with feet sideways, carving looping train tracks all around the forest which in turn, ploughs the leaves into colossal heaps before us.
This week we have experienced an exciting change in our forest routine. Following on from our inset day which saw our educators exploring Chiswick gardens, we have a new base camp area! Our new campsite is not far from our previous area, but it will allow for something extremely important to happen in our forest - recovery!
