At Niton Preschool, we believe that teaching our little ones about sustainability is crucial for their development and for the world they will inherit. To support our commitment to fostering an eco-conscious environment, we have introduced a small weekly sustainability charge of £5. This contribution helps us cover essential consumables, art materials, and the waterproof clothing that allows our children to explore the great outdoors, rain or shine!
