Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School, Droitwich, celebrate receiving the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award!
Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School, Yew Tree Village, Droitwich Spa is delighted to have been successful in meeting the requirements for the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.
Eco Schools is a global programme engaging millions of children across 67 different countries making it the largest environmental schools programme in the world. The Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation follows a seven-step framework, enabling children to engage in a hands-on practical programme that empowers them to drive change and improve their environmental awareness. Whilst participating in the Eco School Programme children develop their understanding of important environmental issues. They develop skills and knowledge to enable them to play an active role in protecting the environment now and throughout their lifetimes, which has a positive impact on the planet.
When receiving their feedback from The Eco-Schools Team, it was noted that Happy Days, Droitwich, demonstrated the passion, engagement, and confidence of their Eco-Committee members that they can create positive environmental impacts in their nursery, local community, and beyond, even though they are only 4 years old. Furthermore, they went on to say, “When creating your Action Plan, your Eco-Committee has thoughtfully considered how their Eco-School’s activities can involve and benefit their entire nursery community and beyond. Your Curriculum links exemplify your nursery’s commitment to environmental education, placing it at the forefront of sustainable learning. You have educated, inspired, and empowered young people in your nursery, and they are now carrying this passion into their homes and community, sharing it with friends and family.”
Finally, the Eco-Schools Team ended their assessment with, “It has been an absolute joy assessing your application and learning about the impact you have had, not only on our planet but also on the young people you work with every day. We can’t emphasize this enough—take great pride in your achievements, and congratulations on your Eco-Schools’ Green Flag 2024!”
Ashley Webb, Nursery Manager, stated, “This is another fantastic achievement for the team, and we are so pleased to have gained this accreditation. Our eco-school committee continue to meet and develop and extend their activities to protect the environment in the nursery, the local community and beyond.”
Sam Richardson, Early Years Operations Manager for the nursery, commented, “We are incredibly proud of Ashley and her team, they have worked tirelessly since the nursery opened last year to build a fantastic environment, providing quality care, for the local Droitwich community. The feedback they received is superb and I look forward to watching them build on this.”
