SUSTAINABILITY

building a better world with the future of the world

We embarked on our plastic free accreditation in 2023 and are currently working our way through the objectives.

​

​

Our favourite ways to learn about the issues so far covered has being through

*litter picking sessions in the local area and on the beach

*water play to learn about pollution

*sorting recycling into materials

​

We have also considered and implemented a number of changes to be more sustainable and eco friendly as a family and have decided to extend this to the business.

*we use reuseable wipes in the setting

*will provide reuseable nappies during the time children are at the setting putting back into a disposable for home time unless parents use reuseable at home too.

*replaced children's toothbrushes with bamboo toothbrushes

*toilet roll is in paper wrapper not plastic (asda)

*majority of meals are vegetarian with generally one fish meal a week for lunches and teas are generally 50% vegetarian, 50% meat

* we are going to keep our felt tips for coloured water spray paint for the garden

*we are looking next spring to restart a wormery or composting area

*we grow our own herbs and vegetables

*we use recycling materials in our play and crafts

*we go foraging

*we try to buy from charity shops, marketplace, car boots and take donations rather than buying new 

*we als ohave families donate old clothes to us that dont fit to use as spare clothes or to gift to other chimp families whose children are smaller
