Towards Sustainable Childcare and Education

Whether you own or run a nursery, are an early years teacher, or a parent or childminder, you’ll find information here to help you make sustainable changes one step at a time.

Small changes. Big impact.

Explore practical advice, research, and downloadable resources covering climate change, environmental preservation, air pollution, biodiversity, sustainable education, professional development, and socio-cultural sustainability.


These resources are designed to help families, educators, childcare providers, and communities make thoughtful everyday decisions for a healthier future.

“If everyone makes small changes to everyday life we can make a significant difference between us. Everything we buy, everything we do, should be influenced by how our decisions and activities will impact on our environment.”

Cheryl Hadland
