Green Flag Award
Excellence in Our Outdoor Environment

We are proud to have achieved the Green Flag Award, recognising our commitment to creating welcoming, well-managed and environmentally sustainable outdoor spaces. At St Ives Nursery, our outdoor environment gives children opportunities to explore nature, discover how plants grow and learn to care for living things through our Garden Champions programme.

Our outdoor experiences encourage children to develop their curiosity about the natural world, learn about habitats and plant growth, and understand the importance of caring for the environment. Our award reflects our dedication to providing inspiring outdoor learning opportunities that help children learn, discover and thrive while developing a lasting respect for nature.
