Little Forest Folk is London's first full time outdoor forest nursery, established by parents Leanna & James Barrett in Wimbledon following their increasing concern over the current disconnect between children and nature.

Little Forest Folk offers childcare from 8am-6pm, 51 weeks a year, with 2-5 year old children spending every day from 9.30am-4pm exploring a beautiful and fascinating forest setting. The forest setting is fully fenced, secure, just over 3.5 hectares in size and full of the wonders of nature. In addition to the natural wonders of the site, there is a bug hotel, a mud kitchen, a weather station, a campfire and many other resources such as fairy doors and wands which will be used as prompts to trigger children's imaginations and games.

Little Forest Folk believe passionately not only that outdoor play in nature has tremendous physical and mental benefits to children, but also that free play in itself offers far superior learning properties for children whilst allowing them to have more fun.

We want to encourage our children to enjoy the freedoms and pleasures within nature that we were fortunate enough to enjoy in our generation.

If anyone has any questions about Little Forest Folk or indeed wants to discuss the concept of outdoor based learning, particularly in the early years, we'd love to hear from you.
