Feedback for Cheryl’s book

Covering all aspects of practice including colleague and parental engagement, the environment, routines, resources and teaching and learning, the book helps readers and practitioners to embed a sustainable approach in day-to-day practice. It draws on recent research, studies as well as stories of success and failure that can be adapted to fit everyone’s own journey towards a more sustainable world. The chapters address topics such as:

  • plastics and their alternatives
  • sustainable food
  • sustainable resourcing
  • transport and trips
  • waste management

Drawing on the experiences of real nurseries and including a wide range of activities and lists of resources, this is an essential read for practitioners, leaders, policymakers and all settings that want to help make sustainable choices a natural part of young children’s lives.
