Bright Horizons Warrington Nursery Celebrates Prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag with Distinction

Bright Horizons Warrington Day Nursery and Pre-School is celebrating a landmark achievement after being awarded the internationally recognised Eco-Schools Green Flag – with Distinction.

This award recognises the nursery’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, and how it is interwoven into daily life through the Bright Horizons Nurture Approach. This unique approach places children’s wellbeing, curiosity, and connection to the world around them at the centre of learning - creating the ideal foundation for embedding eco-awareness from the earliest years.

The Eco-Schools programme praised the setting for creating a culture where children are empowered to care for the planet. The nursery’s greatest success, according to the Eco-Schools team, was the way children took the lead - designing bug hotels, planting pollinator-friendly flowers, learning about recycling, and taking pride in small, meaningful actions that support the environment.

In their feedback, Eco-Schools said:
“You have delivered an excellent Eco-Schools programme. The children clearly understand the topics and take pride in the work they’ve done. The ideas were child-led, which makes the impact even more powerful. This is a setting that lives and breathes sustainability.”

Nursery Manager Rebecca shared her thoughts on the achievement:

“We are so proud to have achieved the Eco-Schools Green Flag with Distinction. It’s a real testament to the enthusiasm and dedication of our children and team, who have embraced every opportunity to care for the environment and learn about sustainability in meaningful ways”.

This recognition places the nursery among a select group of early years settings that are not only educating children about climate and environmental issues but also helping them grow into thoughtful, compassionate individuals with a strong sense of agency.

Bright Horizons’ commitment to sustainability is part of its wider Future Earth programme, supporting nurseries across the UK to bring environmental learning to life in ways that are engaging, age-appropriate, and rooted in the everyday
