UK First: Old Crofts Bank Nursery Earns Eco-Nurseries Green Flag Award

Old Crofts Bank Nursery in Urmston is the first nursery in the UK to be awarded the Eco-Nurseries Green Flag, recognising its ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental education.

Sustainability is woven into daily life at the nursery, from planting vegetables and caring for wildlife to exploring the newly refreshed nursery garden. These activities give children hands-on opportunities to engage with nature while developing curiosity, care, and respect for the world around them.

This achievement highlights the nursery’s dedication to creating a learning environment where children can thrive and develop a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
