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.
We started off the week exploring the magic of shapes in the forest. The children spotted shapes in the natural environment and discussed which they liked the best. We kept warm exploring the different shapes of our obstacle course and then spent a cosy early evening making some lovely circle and star shaped Christmas tree ornaments for our nursery Christmas tree.
The magic of winter has well and truly arrived at Little Forest Folk Wimbledon and this week we had our first snow of the season! The excitement on the children's faces as the huge white flakes cascaded down was amazing! They tried to catch them on their tongues and see who had the biggest flake. We also looked at the different patterns of each flake, trying to see if we could spot any that were similar.
The clock is ticking and we have started to count the days to welcome the most wonderful season of the year in the forest! Indeed, everything is beginning to look a lot like winter – a silent forest greets every morning, creating a peaceful, calm atmosphere. We walk, run & hop with our warm layers and waterproofs on and... let it snow!
Although there was a definite chill in the air and a few rainy days, our adventurers couldn’t have been happier! They embraced the weather with enthusiasm, splashing through muddy puddles and running joyfully in the rain. ✨
During our adventure walks, our explorers gathered an abundance of leaves in all different sizes, shapes and colours. Back in the forest, they used their collections to form patterns and design their very own caterpillars. It was amazing to watch the unique sequences they each created! ✨
A Week of Wonder: Scientists, Kindness & Forest Magic
Each day in our forest brought a new theme, a new adventure and a new spark of curiosity. From fizzing potions to poppy wreaths, from music walls to kindness theatres, our little explorers moved through the week with wonder in their eyes and joy in their steps.
While creatures in nature remind us to slow down and appreciate a secretly quiet atmosphere, before they start getting ready to hibernate, our Little Forest Folk-ers are as busy as squirrels, making the most of the last weeks of this wonderful autumn. We welcomed November in the forest with a lively, wonderful week full of themed adventures, fun celebrations, lots of stories and sparkly energy!
Happy Friday everyone! We hope you’ve all had a wonderful week. At Little Forest Folk Morden, our focus has been on developing mathematical skills and exploring how our little ones can create patterns through play! ✨
