At Little Latham House Nursery & Forest School, we believe some of the most meaningful learning experiences happen outdoors. Inspired by the Forest School ethos, children are encouraged to explore, discover, and build confidence through hands-on experiences within the natural environment.
Our Forest School approach supports children’s personal, social, emotional, and physical development through regular outdoor learning, imaginative play, and nature-based activities. Guided by our experienced team, children are encouraged to take safe risks, problem-solve, develop independence, and connect with the world around them in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
Children at Little Latham House 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.
