We are so proud to share that our Jubilee Wood nursery has achieved the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award, for the second year in a row!

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 Kira, for leading sustainable initiatives so wonderfully at Jubilee Wood nursery! 

A snippet from Eco-Schools' feedback:

"It can be difficult for early years settings to share their work with the community, but this is an area you have excelled in using a variety of methods to keep your nursery community updated by way of newsletters, social media posts, and parent partnerships. You have touched many shops and organisations including a visit from Milton Keynes Play Association mobile scrap store. It was also wonderful to read that your greatest success has been your ability to spark and encourage the curiosity and fascination of the children when it comes to the outdoors and wildlife. And this is definitely the case with your wormery."
