Little Forest Folk Wimbledon Village

Such a lovely outdoor setting, my child comes home muddy, tired and happy every day. The staff are nurturing and brilliant (you'd have to be passionate to choose to work outdoors with little ones through the winter!) with a very low turnover - there are quite a few of the same faces who looked after my first child six years ago. Communication is always really quick and helpful, and the food always looks delicious, seasonal and very healthy.

My daughter joined last year and has absolutely thrived in her environment with the dedicated care from all of the staff. The staff match her humour and provide a range of fun activities to facilitate creative thinking and exploration.

Little forest folk in Wimbledon Village is such a special and unique nursery. Our son started off in a 'conventional' indoor nursery setting and we wish we had transferred him to this forest school setting much sooner. He absolutely loves it and it is so healthy for him to be in the great outdoors rather than cooped up indoors in a small inner city nursery (which also has more germs!). We were initially worried about the Winter months but do not be deterred by the cold! As long as they are sufficiently dressed and layered and their extremities are kept warm, the children are perfectly comfortable and happy. The staff are also extremely knowledgeable and know what to do in more challenging conditions to ensure the warmth, health and safety of the kids.

The staff are really energetic with the children, creative and clearly passionate about nature. We are big fans of the team looking after our son! I also love that many of the staff members are male, as there are not enough male carers

Our 2.5 year old daughter had a fantastic time during the summer at the forest school. The team members were very friendly and caring. We were fully impressed by the creativity of the activities they provided. Our daughter was very happy in the morning when knowing that she was going to go to the forest school. We were delighted to see that she was so happy every time when she came back home and told us the stories of what she did during the day. We were very appreciative for all the caring and support from the all the forest school team members.

Highly recommend.

Very grateful to all the staff especially one in particular who has welcomed our family and our son to LFF! Incredible at being attentive to our needs, reassured us when we first started. So grateful for everything LFF has done for our child - amazing outdoor experience.

LFF Wimbledon Village is a magical place and I am so pleased my son has been able to experience their wonderful nursery setting within the forest. LFF have shown empathy and support for our son and his speech and language needs and they have given him room to grow and develop so many skills in a nurturing and kind environment. We love seeing the photos and updates as they come through on the app and picking our son up at the end of the day with muddy boots and a smiling face is the best!

Management and their team do a fantastic job of looking after our son. They are clearly invested in his well-being and development, always keeping us posted during the day with photos, descriptions of what he did that day, and on a more long-term basis, comments on how he is progressing and his future development areas. Our son naturally likes to be indoors where everything is clean and dry, and Little Forest Folk has been fantastic for his development as he has developed a great appreciation and love for the outdoors. Every day when he comes home he is happy and tells us what a great day he has had.

My son started at Little Forest Folk Wimbledon Village in September and is really loving it! He is my first child, and this was the first time I had left him alone with someone who was not a family member. I will admit that I was very concerned, but the staff were so welcoming, polite, and reassuring that my concerns rapidly faded. They were incredibly helpful and accepting of my son's tears (more like screaming) upon drop-off in the first few weeks, but they were readily able to quiet him and constantly kept their app updated throughout the day, which calmed me! They give the children a fun-filled day outside and nutritious meals. We both love and highly recommend the experience at LFF Wimbledon Village.

Our 2.5-year-old son has been going to Little Forest Folk Wimbledon Village since he turned 2. Initially he was going for 2 days a week but we've increased it to 3 days a week as he absolutely loves it! He's happy to be dropped off in the mornings and is happy at pick-up. His creativity and imagination have also really developed and his vocabulary is advancing well too. I love that there are no screens, and the children spend the majority of their time outdoors. It's obvious the educators pay attention to the children as individuals and provide a nurturing environment for development. I'm so pleased we chose to send our son here rather than a traditional nursery.

The nursery manager and his team consistently show genuine care and kindness toward my son, always coming up with exciting new adventures for him to enjoy. After each day, he's always really positive about his experience and they bring the outdoor fun regardless of the weather. Their thoughtful approach brings fresh activities that have been instrumental in his growth and learning. It's a nurturing environment that truly supports his journey toward independence.

Little Forest Folk Wimbledon Village is the nursery we always hoped would exist! It's such a wonderful feeling to know that our daughter is outside in the fresh air, looked after by incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and playful staff and being encouraged to roam and explore the natural world. My initial worry about the children being exposed to the wet and the cold has completely been removed. The set-up ensures the children stay warm and dry but the staff are also incredibly reasonable. If the rain is set in, they head inside to their lovely space. Everything about this nursery experience has been outstanding. The admin communication feels very personal but is also highly efficient, the app integration is great, payments are simple and transparent and the updates throughout the day are consistent and helpful. I cannot recommend this setting highly enough and I sincerely hope that all children return from their nursery days as buoyant, content and engaged as my daughter does.

This is our second go-round at Little Forest Folk and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so caring, they are truly child-led. My kids could not be more different from one another, and both of them have been extremely happy there. They love being outside, they love the variety of activities and they've both made some really lovely friends. It's magical!

Our son absolutely loves Forest School and the team at Wimbledon Village. We’ve been so impressed with how the Forest School is run and how creative the team are with play and learning. We’ve noticed our son now loves imaginative play, is very courageous and explorative and as the groups are mixed ages his confidence in speaking and playing with older children is really good. We highly recommend it.
