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.
It is that time of year again… Elderflower season! We love Elderflower season here at Putney Heath, as it means we get to make our very own Elderflower cordial for everyone to enjoy. This has been the big highlight of our week and the children have all worked super hard to make the best cordial they could!
Under the leafy canopy of Paradise, the children got off to an excellent start this week. Gathering around the table, the children had a wonderful time, moulding, pressing and rolling clay with one another. With an eclectic array of possibilities, they primarily made all sorts of foods; sausages, eggs, potatoes and peas. The kitchen was well and truly open and all the little chefs were hard at work. "Ten fat sausages sizzling in a pan, one went pop and the other went bang," they enthusiastically sang with the educators. Bon appétit!
It's been a particularly enjoyable experience for the children this week, with a profusion of parents joining for 'stay and play.' Starting out at Paradise this week - at last having a reprieve from bank holidays - the children have had a lovely time; making mud-pies and running energetic laps around the garden.
It has been a week of adventure walks, building and insect spotting!
Our Wimbledon Little Forest Folk-ers have had a busy week exploring all areas of our wonderful forest. The buttercups have created a blanket of yellow on the meadow which the children have loved, and it has created the perfect spot to sit and watch the bugs and the bunnies hop around.
Another bank holiday week, so the action all started at Wimbledon Common. The weather has been generous and the children happy. In the arts section, the children have been experimenting with a profusion of shapes that the hole punches can make in fallen leaves. Wands, ladybirds and dreamcatchers being but a few of the delightful things that our Little Forest Folk-ers have been making.
