Sustainability
At The Little Pea Pod, we understand the impact that we have on our planet and how our actions impact future generations. We can help introduce children to the concepts of sustainability, and caring for our environment, throughout our daily routines. At nursery we introduce the concept of recycling through play. The earlier children learn the habits of recycling, the more likely they are to have ingrained recycling behaviour.
We encourage gardening and planting our own food. The children love to observe daily how the plants have grown, as well as eating from our herb garden!
We re-use recyclable items for craft activities. Everyday materials like cereal boxes, toilet rolls & aluminium cans are used in our mud kitchen and alternatively used as a container for planting our seeds in.
We are in the process of changing the majority of our resources to more sustainable choices like wooden tots rather than plastics.
Each day we make our own organic oat milk to lower our carbon footprint, by using 80% less greenhouse gas emissions than cow’s milk.
90% of baby wipes sold in the UK contain hidden plastic. Taking this into account we have lowered our carbon footprint once again by making our own organic paper wipes using organic soaps & oils.
