Climate Change

Get reading to write your Climate Action Plan

The Government’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy states: ‘By 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan. This includes early years settings, schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and universities.’

This means that you will need to nominate a sustainability lead in your setting, and you must have a written Climate Action Plan in place by the end of 2025. As a childminder, you are the sustainability lead.

Childcare.co.uk have commissioned a series of resources to support you as you reflect on your Climate Action Plan with the children and families and join in with community initiatives.
