Our setting in Burton on Trent, Beeches Park Day Nursery is thrilled to announce that they have received the Healthy Living Topic Award from Keep Britain Tidy Eco-Schools Award.

The children and staff thoroughly enjoy running their eco-committees and achieving some real change at our settings. "Beeches Park’s dedication to health, diversity, education, and sustainability during mealtimes makes them a deserving recipient of our Healthy Living Topic Award" You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/eBk9_i84

Fantastic article from our setting at The Old Forge Day Nursery
Amy Weaver, Manager at The Old Forge Day Nursery, has recently had a very exciting article published in the Nursery World October Magazine about the importance of having animals within the nursery. The Old Forge has an on-site flock of chickens in Forest School, two rabbits and a visiting nursery therapy dog, amongst other 4-legged visitors such as lambs. Amy says ‘I feel through having animals we’re creating healthy adults for the future. It’s really important that we’re teaching children respect for animals and also respect for the environment. Above all, it is teaching children to care and nurture.’ You can read the article here.
