Green Flag Award
With Eco Schools and Keep Britain Tidy
Climate change poses significant health and development risks to us all especially young children due to increased heat, air pollution, and extreme weather events, which can lead to chronic illnesses and stress. Addressing this requires both protecting children and fostering a lifelong connection to nature to build environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility from an early age. The staff and children in our setting play a vital role by incorporating a climate action plan and promoting environmental stewardship through the Green Flag Award.
Each year, the staff, children and parents help to work on a variety of projects for our Green Flag Application. We have been successful in receiving this award every year since 2021.
