We are so proud to share that our Kents Hill nursery has achieved the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with distinction, for the fourth 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 Molly, for leading sustainable initiatives so wonderfully at Kents Hill nursery!

A snippet from Eco-Schools' feedback:

"We love the range of activities that you and your Eco-Committee planned for delivery. The fact that they cover both indoor (regular yoga sessions) and outdoor (community litter-picks, planting pollinator friendly plants, as well as fruit and vegetables, making small animal habitats and filling bird feeders) activities is excellent."
