From the Little Forest Folk
Little Forest Folk was founded to provide kids, including those of our own, with the opportunity to experience awe and freedom in their daily lives.
Inspiring children to lead naturally healthy lifestyles that develop resilience, confidence, independence, and self-motivation鈥攁ll the skills required for a happy and successful life鈥攊n our nurseries re-connects them with nature.
We want to provide the next generation the chance to have the lovely outdoor childhood that many of us had the good fortune to have but that children in London are tragically no longer experiencing.
We adhere to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum's fundamental principles and incorporate learning outdoors in a secure setting where children can freely play, breathe fresh air, be exposed to the outdoors, and engage in physical activity.
Children are missing out on the wild world because it is getting so far away from them, and as a result, their interest in it doesn't develop as it should.
Our curriculum was created to address the seven learning domains identified in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Our teaching is play-based and child-led, with a yearning for greater learning motivated by wonder.

The majority of the time, all the kids want to do is play in the rain by catching water in containers, watching the rain fall, and jumping in puddles.
We urge kids to unwind and think back on their days when each day comes to an end.
