Little Forest Folk Chiswick offers fully outdoor childcare that immerses two to five-year-olds in nature, helping them become creative, resilient learners.
Children are encouraged to run, jump, climb and explore their natural environment, using resources from the great outdoors to stimulate and trigger their imagination.
Children arrive at the indoor space at 8am for a healthy, homemade breakfast. Putting on their wellies & waterproofs, they make the short walk to the forest, where they spend the rest of their day. Lunch, plus morning & afternoon snack are enjoyed in the forest with plenty of time for child led play, before enjoying a delicious dinner in the indoor space, then home time!
Little Forest Folk Chiswick is lucky to have their outside space within the grounds of Chiswick House. Camp moves around the grounds allowing children to explore different areas depending on the seasons – they also take exciting adventure walks to take advantage of all spaces on offer. On camp there is always a range of sensory activities available or a quiet story area to enjoy favourite books. There is a cosy sleeping tent for children who nap in the middle of the day. Other features include forest toilets, nappy changing tent and handwashing stations.
The nursery delivers the full Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum with a forest spin, where children learn in a natural environment & are observed and their development assessed as you would in an indoor nursery. The early years care is child-led and play-based.
Little Forest Folk are proud to maintain a 1:4 ratio of staff to children, for all ages and at all points of the day - this ensures the highest standards of safety, care and education for little ones.
The nursery is currently rated GOOD by OFSTED (April 2024).
Some parking on local roads, but check signs for hours when residents permits are required. Please note that the bottom of Duke Road is a designated School Street & there are certain hours when you are not permitted to drive down this road - please check local signage for more information or the Hounslow website.

I have been so impressed with Little Forest Folk Chiswick, our son started when he was 2.5 years old as we felt he would benefit from more outside space and it is amazing how much his confidence has grown since he started. The team are so caring and nurturing and create a really fun environment for the children in the forest, I always love reading the daily updates and hearing what fun things they have been doing, often including adventure walks, arts and crafts and lots of imaginative play.
The communication with parents is superb and the staff are all extremely caring and have been so helpful with advice for us as we navigate through these toddler years.

Wonderful Experience at Little Forest Nursery! We've had such a positive experience with Little Forest Nursery. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. The nursery has a lovely, nurturing environment with lots of outdoor play, creative activities, and a focus on helping little ones grow in confidence and independence. Communication with parents is excellent - we always feel well-informed about our child's day and progress. It's clear the team put a lot of effort into creating a safe, stimulating, and happy space.
Highly recommend Little Forest Nursery to any parents looking for a caring and supportive setting for their child!

I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Little Forest Folk in Chiswick. The outdoor learning environment provides a lovely blend of education, creativity, and adventure that traditional classroom settings often can't offer. My daughter has become more confident, resilient, and independent and she walks much further too! The hands-on approach-whether it's identifying plants, painting with leaves or nature walks or learning to solve real-life problems has been really valuable to her development. The teachers are wonderful, too. So caring and loving. Their passion for outdoor learning and their ability to engage the kids with fun, meaningful activities make every day exciting. They truly understand how to balance structure with freedom, allowing children to take the lead in their learning while providing support and guidance when needed.
What I love most is seeing my daughter come home happy, muddy, and full of stories about the day's adventure!

My son has just started his second year at Little Forest Folk Chiswick and absolutely loves his time there. The teachers are all amazing - kind, fun and imaginative with the activities they do each day. They have helped him through picky eating, toilet training and reluctance to leave me in the morning - always with compassion and endless patience! Despite my worries when he first started, he naps really well every day in their cosy sleeping tent.
I recommend it to everyone we talk to and it was the best decision we made.

Jay was born in Burgas – a lovely city by the sea in Bulgaria. Bulgarian seaside has diverse nature and a big part of it is covered by amazing Natural reserves, where she used to camp with her family from an early age.
Jay graduated from Roehampton University, with a qualification in Early Childhood Studies. Not long after, she heard about Forest Schools and immediately knew that this is what she wanted to do and that someone like her would fit perfectly in a wild “classroom”.
