Welcome to Little Forest Folk Twickenham
Every day we meet our full day children at Heatham House in Twickenham for breakfast. We greet our friends, enjoy a lovely breakfast and a play sparked by curiosity and exploration before getting ready for our forest adventures.
Once we are dressed up in our wellies and waterproofs it’s a short walk into our magical woodland garden area, where children have free rein to explore, play and have unbounded adventures in a natural wild setting.
Our play is child-led and play-based. Children's imaginations are the only barrier to a day at Little Forest Folk and they are encouraged to run, imagine, create and reflect. We use our environment as our third teacher with resources being primarily natural materials which create provocations to stimulate highly engaged play through fascination, awe and wonder. We enjoy a nutritious dinner every day and on Friday mornings we have Wild Cooking Fridays, exploring all things food related and honing our little chef skills.
Our forest site is approximately half an acre and consists of a variety of vegetations and areas to engage the children’s imaginations. We additionally have a cosy sleeping tent for children still needing a rest in the middle of the day and of course our all important fire circle where not only can we cook but often the most amazing conversations happen.
SESSIONS AT LITTLE FOREST FOLK TWICKENHAM
There are two options for attending Little Forest Folk Twickenham, a Full Day (year around) or a Sessional Day (term time only). Full Days run 8am to 6pm (apart from on Fridays where we finish at 3:30pm), include breakfast, lunch and dinner, whereas Sessional Days are shorter days running 9.30am to 3:30pm which includes lunch. Both include a morning and afternoon snack. We ask for a minimum commitment of at least two days per week per child and children can only join us in the forest once they have turned 2.
