Little Forest Folk is London’s first full-time outdoor nursery for 2-5 year olds. They offer childcare in a magical site where children’s imaginations are free to run wild. Their nurseries are located in Barnes, Chiswick, Fulham, Wandsworth, and Wimble…A Forest School day nursery in Wimbledon. “Little Forest Folk has been established to address the increasing disconnect between children and nature. There has been a shift recently to an indoor sedentary lifestyle and this is resulting in a large increase in childhood obesity, diabetes and behavioural issues. We aim to get children active and back immersed in nature to provide enormous physical and mental development in the early years. We follow our own version of the Early Years Curriculum so you can be assured your child will learn a great deal from their time with us, whilst undergoing an experience that will have a profound effect on their growing up… and is LOTS of fun!”0Little Forest Folk Wimbledon offers children aged 2–5 a full‑time outdoor nursery experience.
