  • Little Forest Folk Winkworth, Godalming
Little Forest Folk Winkworth is a fully outdoor forest nursery, based year round within the grounds of the stunning National Trust property Winkworth Arboretum. Offering the full seven areas of the EYFS curriculum with a forest twist, including mark making in nature, counting natural materials & learning about the great outdoors! Learning surrounded by nature is a fantastic way to build creative, resilient little learners - naturally building core strength and confidence.

Children attending the nursery spend their days exploring the unique & magical 121 acres on offer - from spotting ducks on the lake, to building their core strength as they walk, run and climb, and observing the seasons as they change. The nursery also benefits from a bespoke indoor space, as well as their own cottage garden, perfect for campfires, tool work and cooking in the mud kitchen! Also available on camp are forest toilets and nappy changing station, hand washing facilities, napping tent & a friendly log circle for sharing meal times.

Little Forest Folk follow a strict staff ratio of 1 educator to 4 children, at all times and for all ages, allowing them to provide the quality of care and education they pride themselves on.

Full Day and Morning schedules start at the indoor space for breakfast and free play, before venturing into the forest for morning snack, followed by more time for exploration and adventures. Lunch is served in the forest around the camp circle, before afternoon friends arrive and morning friends leave for the day. The afternoon allows for more forest learning, or maybe even an adventure walk, before returning to the indoor space for dinner!

The nursery opened in January 2025 & is currently awaiting its first Ofsted inspection.

Karlenne

Karlenne

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2023

Karlenne’s love for the outdoors started at a young age. When she was seven years old she became a Brownie as part of Girlguiding, then a guide and is now an active volunteering leader for the last 25 years. She enjoys taking them camping, teaching them to make and cook on open fires, respecting the natural environment and enjoying the outside natural world which even includes some international trips. It was through this involvement and passion that she learnt that she really loved helping children and learning new skills in the outside environment. She worked as a Nanny for a year and then worked as a level three practitioner for the last ten years and took her Forest School Leadership qualification.


She is excited to be joining Little Forest Folk and sharing her skills, and knowledge and smiles each day.

Charlotte

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2023

Charlotte thought she was an indoorsy bookworm until she went to study in Canada and fell in love with the mountains! She then set off to New Zealand with the idea of training as an outdoor educator but got happily sidetracked helping out at a nursery in Wellington. She really loved working with young children and realised this had been the missing link all along, so she returned to the UK to retrain as an Early Years Teacher and complete a master's with a focus on the value of outdoor play. She loves supporting children to become confident adventurers, investigators and nature lovers.
