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.
Our explorers have considered what could be used as bedding in a stable for a horse, created stables of their own using recycled junk modelling materials, coloured in a chicken using egg shaped chalks and helped to remove bugs from ‘Poor Sammy’s’ tummy after he ‘picked and licked’! All great activities for farm discussions and hygiene around food.
Although the weather has not been the best this week, the children still had a wonderful time exploring and learning in the forest. Our new Little Forest Folk-ers are gradually settling in, while our existing children have been very welcoming, inviting their new friends to join in their play. It has been lovely to see friendships forming and growing.
Our crops and plants have enjoyed the water this week, as most of our harvest is coming to an end. We have enjoyed supplying the kitchen team with our potatoes for them to cook with and have enjoyed tasting our homegrown organic carrots when they were ready!
This week was somewhat of a rollercoaster of a week - whilst we had a lovely week, we have had to wave goodbye to some more of our wonderful friends, who have graduated from the nursery.
It’s been a wonderfully physical week in the forest this week! For our intrepid explorers, we installed a variety of additional climbing, scrambling, jumping, balancing, pulling and pushing activities into our camp to really focus on the healthy choices for activities.
