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’ve been diving into literacy with lots of enthusiasm. The children have been practicing letter formation through name writing, taking pride in recognising and writing the letters that make up their names. Our older children also engaged in phonics play, linking initial letter sounds with familiar words. It’s been a great way to develop early reading and writing confidence in a playful and meaningful way.
On Tuesday, Earth day itself, they did a special ocean clean-up activity. We had shells and sea creatures in our blue tray. 🐟🐠🐡 However, could you see these? No, because the tray was so polluted! There was murky water, plastic and even food waste. However, soon the water was clear enough thanks to our fabulous little explorers!
One of the activities that our little explorers took part in was creating an Earth Day poster - they used all their small handprints to decorate the Earth. This opened up so many questions about recycling and how we can look after our beloved animals too. ✨ They finished off the poster with “ We can change our Earth with our own two hands.” ✨
We kept the tweezers, scissors and paper punches from last week and progressed to using palm drills and secateurs under the guidance of educators. There were also lots of opportunities to use big gestures and work on balance and hand-eye coordination on innovative slackline, rope and swing configurations.
