Happy Days Nurseries Bradley Stoke is happy to introduce their new Eco Schools committee.

From September to July, our nursery takes part in the Eco-Schools Early Years programme, a seven-step framework designed to help us introduce meaningful eco-learning activities and make our setting more environmentally friendly.

At the heart of the Eco-Schools programme is child led learning. Each week, our Eco-Schools Committee, made up of curious and enthusiastic young learners, explores inspiring environmental actions taken by children around the world. Together, they discuss how these actions make a difference and reflect on what we can do to help protect our planet.

By taking part in the programme, children deepen their understanding of key environmental issues and develop the skills and knowledge needed to care for the world around them. The experience empowers them to make positive choices, now and in the future, that support a healthier, more sustainable planet.

A look back at our wonderfully creative Messy Week at Happy Days Falmouth!

Children at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School, all embraced a variety of exciting sensory activities designed to spark curiosity and support early development. From mark-making with tools like squeegees and spray bottles to exploring different textures with feathers, paint, and clay, there was no limit to their creativity.

Each room tailored the experience to the children’s interests, encouraging exploration through colour, texture, and movement both indoors and outdoors. It was fantastic to see their confidence and imagination grow through play.

We’re so proud of the engagement from both the children and our dedicated Falmouth team. We can’t wait to share more inspiring moments from the nursery’s next creative adventure!
