Little Forest Folk

Welcome to LITTLE FOREST FOLK – fully outdoor forest nurseries & holiday camps that immerse children in nature, helping them become creative, resilient little learners. Our holiday camps are a wonderful opportunity for children aged 3 to 7 to be immersed in nature in our magical forest settings. Our forest adventurers spend their days exploring, building dens, using tools, hunting for mini-beasts and creating works of forest art. We run, we climb, we balance and we laugh, thriving in spending time outdoors. Little Forest Folk's approach is child-led and play-based & we encourage children's imaginations to run wild! Holiday camp days run from 8am to 6pm with drop off and pick up at our main drop-off point and our days spent in the great outdoors! Nutritious and homemade breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are included. We can take children not enrolled at our nurseries aged 3 to 7 and we usually recommend a minimum booking of two days per week. Our nurseries connect children back to nature, inspiring them to live a naturally healthy lifestyle that builds resilience, confidence, independence and self-motivation – all the tools they need for a happy and successful life. A TYPICAL DAY AT HOLIDAY CAMP Children can be dropped off from 8am at our indoor setting; we recommend arriving before 8:30am to enjoy breakfast with us. We then put on our outdoor gear & head over to our forest space and eat our morning snack around 10:00am. We start our free play until lunch at midday; we ensure we all wash our hands before we enjoy our delicious child friendly lunch, then we start to get creative for more fun and adventures in the afternoon. Before we know it, it’s 3pm and time for our afternoon snack and then a short trip back to our indoor space for a warm and nutritious dinner before home time! We recommend collecting after 4:30pm if you would like your little one to enjoy dinner with us. Whilst your child is with us during holiday camps you can expect them to enjoy a wide range of activities, that will help build gross motor skills, practise their language, numeracy, and critical thinking, plus some wonderful sensory experiences and more such as; creating magic potions in the mud kitchen constructing and climbing obstacle courses going on exciting adventure walks making bracelets and necklaces from elder branches mapping out bug hunts sawing wood & using tools making and flying kites organising treasure hunts painting on giant canvases walking along the river and pond dipping and so much more! The wonderful thing about our forest locations is that they are all unique and therefore each allows us a different range of activities - please note that not all activities are available at all locations/on every day. We have wonderful staff who are trained to show our little ones how to safely engage in all forest activities.
