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.
The rain has well and truly come to say hello this week in the Wimbledon forest. This only means one thing for our little ones - more puddles! The excitement when we find a new puddle is amazing, the Little Forest Folk-ers do an incredible job of turn-taking for splashing and seeing who can get the most water up in the air.
This week in the forest we had a lot of fun with all the new mud. Obstacle courses were a big favourite this week, and the children especially enjoyed forming a queue and walking along the planks in single file. The mud made this a real challenge, but everyone showed great resilience and perseverance.
What a splishy splashy week we’ve had! Stomping in big muddy puddles and soaking in the fresh scents of the leaves. We kicked off our week with some spooky Halloween fun, crafting paper pumpkins out of cardboard and tissue paper. Around the log circle we talked about what scary costumes we would be wearing that night for trick or treating.
The Little Forest Folk-ers of Putney Heath have been very busy this week. After some rainy days the children have loved having an unlimited supply of mud for their mud kitchen, this week's favourite recipes were a variety of hot chocolates. They have also loved finding big puddles and seeing who could make the most splashes when running through them.
What a fun week we have had in the forest! It was lovely to have all of our sessional day children back with us this week, and we have been super busy with all sorts of Autumn activities. We have been making firework paintings using toilet roll tubes and all sorts of colours of paint. It has been great seeing our adventurers creative sides come out and have lots of fun making their creations!
