Warwick Nursery School is "very proud" to announce it has achieved an Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.

The Eco-Schools Green Flag Award is an international accreditation that recognises and rewards schools for their commitment to environmental action and learning.

It is a prestigious award, with the Green Flag symbolising excellence in environmental activities.

Feedback to the school said: "The Green Flag application process has helped you define and expand sustainability efforts in a way that truly transforms your nursery grounds.

"Involving the entire nursery community makes this even more special."

Some of the projects included; developing a rewilding area, transforming an old shed into a Bird Hide, crisp packet recycling and composting to upcycling old materials into creative play spaces, a Waste to Worms initiative to teach children about food waste and natural recycling, and a help-yourself salad wall made from recycled milk containers.

"Thank you to everyone for helping to achieve this; to all parents/families who donated money for the ECO February challenge fundraiser, gave up their time to help in the community garden and for all the donations of plants and seeds," the school said.

"Thanks to staff for all their hard work, and thank you to the children of course."
