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.
This week, our theme was construction, and we welcomed back some old friends to our holiday camp who joined in the creative fun. The children eagerly honed their construction skills by building rope ladders and dens around camp. They loved swinging through the trees and creating cosy homes under fallen logs.
This week, we have embraced the warm weather by exploring ice play! One super fun activity explored how long it took for ice to melt in different parts of the forest; we placed the ice in sunny and shady areas around camp and then watched and waited…it took a small ice cube 4 minutes and 54 seconds!
Dear Little Forest Folk Families,
We hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the beautiful summer weather as much as we have been! The past week has been filled with sunshine, laughter, and endless adventures. The warm days and clear skies have provided the perfect backdrop for our outdoor explorations and activities, allowing the children to immerse themselves fully in nature.
Little Forest Folk Wimbledon has been a hive of activity this week! We have had fire engines made out of pallets, boats made from wooden planks and doctors surgeries made using any bits and bobs from the forest. It has been great to see the children’s play develop throughout the week depending on what items there are around them.
What an interesting week we had in the forest! As we reflected on our theme of community and the different people who make up our community (including ourselves!) we wanted to express what we’ve learned through the arts, specifically through a puppet show. We decided to make wooden puppets that reflect how we see ourselves.
