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.
Another busy week with the Morden Little Forest Folk-ers having so many adventures! We brought some magic into the forest this week by making an Oobleck magic slime! Everyone was so excited dipping their hands into the soft mixture. The texture allowed them to grab the mixture from the tray and then after they released their grip, they loved watching the slime going down. Some of our explorers made handprints and waited until they disappeared again.
What a typical week of spring weather we have had! Heavy grey clouds, then clear blue sky, drizzle then sunny spells, light winds then sudden gusts… these all seemed to be coming and going in our campsite! Nevertheless, we are grateful that we can immerse ourselves in these changes and truly appreciate the wonders of nature.
This week saw our last two sessions at the bowling field. Educators have worked very hard over the years to transform it from a blank, flat bowling field into an exciting playful area that has filled many growing children with joy. We’ll be sad to leave our beloved Monday/Friday outdoor space but happy knowing we have jumped, danced, dug and given it our all on every square inch of it!
