Sustainability and Climate Change
🌱 Our Commitment to Sustainability and Climate Action
At Emneth Nursery School, we believe that even the smallest hands can make a big difference. As educators of the next generation, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility within our nursery and wider community.
🌍 Why It Matters
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. By teaching children to care for the planet from an early age, we help nurture environmentally conscious citizens who will grow up with the values and knowledge to protect our world.
🌿 What We’re Doing
We’ve taken meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and promote sustainable practices:
- Eco-Friendly Learning: We incorporate nature-based play and learning into our curriculum, helping children connect with the environment in joyful and meaningful ways.
- Waste Reduction: We actively reduce, reuse, and recycle materials in our nursery, and encourage families to do the same at home.
- Green Spaces: Our outdoor areas are designed to support biodiversity, with bug hotels, bird feeders, and planting activities that teach children about ecosystems.
- Energy Awareness: We’re working to reduce energy use in our nursery and teach children simple habits like turning off lights and conserving water.
- Community Engagement: We partner with local organisations to support green initiatives and involve families in sustainability-themed events and projects.
We welcome ideas and support from our families and community. Together, we can build a brighter, cleaner future for our children.
