Little Forest Folk Wandsworth Open Day

We are very excited to announce we will be opening our Wandsworth Little Forest Folk this year. We’d love to invite you to our first Open Day on Friday 26th February 2016 to tell you all about it.

From 10am to 4pm our fabulous Wandsworth team will be available at the Naturescope centre on the common (next door to the Skylark cafe, just off Dorlcote Road) to tell you more about Little Forest Folk.

Our team of staff, managed by the energetic Lil Hansen along with our founder Leanna Barrett will look forward to meeting with all of our potential new families. Please come along to learn more about our concept, have a tour of our facilities, view our equipment and menus, meet our special team and understand why your children will utterly love to join us in our adventures.

Feel free to pop along at any time to join us as we will be there all day, however we will be holding information sessions at 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, 2.30pm & 3.30pm. To guarantee a place at an information session, you are welcome to book your family in, however we will do our best on the day to accommodate as many drop in families as we can fit into the centre.

On the day we shall be using the Naturescope garden area to give you a taste of the unique approach to play and learning that we offer in our predominantly forest based setting. You will have a chance to take a look at our equipment, chat to our staff about our concept and give your children a sense of how much fun we have at Little Forest Folk!

To book in for any of the information sessions or to enquire about our waiting list, please use our online form

We look forward to seeing you then.

Little Forest Folk

Fun in the forest

Chiswick - A Creative Week in the Forest!

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.

Fulham - Space Explorers

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!

Morden - Sweet Pea Tipi & Mathematics Fun

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.” ✨

Putney Heath - Eco-Friendly Adventures

On Tuesday, we explored the zones of regulation, a tool we use every day to support emotional literacy. This time, we brought the concept to life in a bigger way, transforming the camp into a multi-zoned sensory space:

Twickenham - Little Bee Explorers

Our tiny forest chefs spent many an hour in the mud kitchen preparing food for the sea creatures and learning what each animal might like to eat. We were fascinated to learn that Octopi have 9 brains and love to eat crabs, sea snails and small fish.

Wimbledon Village - Happy Bugs & Potato Harvesting

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.

Wimbledon - Sensory Exploration & Building Independence

Our Little Forest Folk-ers really focused on tool work and physical skills this week. One of the things they did was some whittling to create mini stick characters.

Winkworth - Songs and Rhymes

We heard all about the lovely Easter breaks that our little ones have enjoyed, with lots of talk about Easter egg hunts, the Easter Bunny and all the treasures that they found.

Chiswick - Frozen Melon Lollies & Cold Banana Milkshakes

Fulham -Soaking up the Sunshine!
