At Little Latham Farmers Nursery & Forest School, we believe children learn best when they feel confident, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Inspired by the Forest School ethos, our approach focuses on helping children build confidence, curiosity, independence, and important life skills through meaningful hands-on experiences and play-based learning.
Children are supported by our experienced childcare team and trained Forest School teacher, who carefully plan activities that scaffold each child’s learning and development. This allows children to build on their own experiences, develop socially and emotionally, and realise their full potential within a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
Children at Little Latham Farmers have access to a variety of engaging outdoor experiences designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence, and exploration. Through woodland adventures, sensory play, and hands-on activities, children are encouraged to build on their own experiences while developing important life skills and a deeper connection with nature.
