Young children are natural environmentalists — fascinated by minibeasts, puddles and growing things. This course helps your setting reduce waste and costs, embed sustainability in everyday practice, and nurture children’s love of the natural world without a hint of eco-anxiety.
What you’ll learn

- Reducing waste: resources, food, plastic and the power of re-use
- Energy, water and easy wins around your building
- Growing, composting and outdoor projects children can own

On completion learners receive an NFAQ-accredited certificate as evidence for compliance and Ofsted.
