About this day nursery

Little Forest School on the Green, located in the charming village of Walton on the Hill, offers a unique outdoor learning experience for children aged 2 to 5 years. Situated near St Peters Church, the day nursery benefits from its proximity to Sandyhill Woods and Walton Heath, allowing children to engage with nature throughout the year.

The day nursery has evolved over 8 years into a Forest School, emphasising learning in natural environments, instilling an appreciation for the outdoors through regular woodland visits, and involving children in hands-on activities. The school offers a safe and secure setting, with a commitment to providing a holistic education that incorporates outdoor wild play.

The facilities include a large main room for exploration, along with a separate kitchen for messy play and cooking. A small enclosed garden provides space for various activities, and children are encouraged to play outdoors in all weather conditions with appropriate waterproof clothing.

Little Forest School on the Green operates on an 'open door policy', welcoming parents and carers to participate in daily activities. They are registered with Ofsted Early Years and adhere to the Children Act regulations.

Our daughter went to Little School on the Green and we found it wonderful. I don't think we could have found a more caring friendly setting for our toddler. Highly recommended.
