River View Day Nursery Team Leader, Susan Stratford explained;
“The children have been working so hard in their allotment and this has been such a rewarding process for everyone involved. They have loved tracking the progress of their crops, and these initiatives offer a host of benefits, including aiding concentration, encouraging responsibility and teaching the importance of nutrition for healthy lifestyles.”
At River View, children take part in sustainable activities all year round, from crafting with natural and recycled materials to making habitats for wildlife, leading them to earn a prestigious ‘Green Flag’, the highest accolade in the internationally-recognised Eco-Schools programme, which is awarded for exceptional environmental practices.
