Eco-Schools Green Flag award at Burton Latimer!

We are so proud to share that our Burton Latimer nursery has achieved their 2024 Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with a Merit, for the third consecutive year!

This award is an international accreditation that recognises young people's environmental actions! The programme itself empowers and engages children (as well as staff teams and therefore families) in important environmental issues, teaches great responsibility and generates a sense of community, as well as develops the skills and knowledge children need to play an active role in protecting our environment now and throughout their lifetimes!

Congratulations to all the children and the staff at the nursery and a big well done to their eco-lead Zsa, for leading sustainable initiatives so wonderfully at Burton Latimer nursery!

A snippet from Eco-Schools' feedback:

"Your Eco-Schools noticeboard looks fantastic, with many photos of the positive impacts you and your Eco-Committee have created. Growing fresh produce for your nursery kitchen and families was a real highlight for you this year!"

"Recognising the importance of collective responsibility and fostering a sense of community, your nursery made the decision to involve all children and staff as members of the Eco-Committee. By engaging the entire nursery in this effort, you have created a strong foundation for fostering long-lasting, positive environmental change."
