🔦 Spotlight on Local Climate Action 🌻 🪴 🪻

Congratulations to Wind in the Willows Childcare Ltd - Longbarn on achieving the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with Distinction for the second year running!

Since beginning their sustainability journey in 2024, staff, children and families have got involved in a wide range of environmental initiatives, including litter picking, growing vegetables and herbs, choosing more plant-based meals and taking part in activities such as 30 Days Wild, Big School Birdwatch and Cut Your Carbon Month. They have also planted a range of flowers to encourage pollinators and improve biodiversity.

By supporting environmental charities, their efforts have raised over £4,000 for environmental causes and helped inspire the next generation of environmental champions.
