Community involvement | Kids Planet Nurseries

Committed to our people, parents, charities, and local communities.

We believe that it’s more important than ever to feel connected to our local communities. At Kids Planet, we strive to support our local organisations and charities through fundraising events, sponsorships, and by offering extra support to families in need.

Caring for the Environment

As awareness of sustainability grows, we believe investing in the education of our children is the most effective way to provide a sustainable environment into the future. We encourage all our employees to leave our environment fit for the next generation. Here’s how:

•Supporting local authority recycling initiatives.

•Helping parents who wish to use reusable nappies.

•Educating our teams to carry out activities in an environmentally responsible manner.

•Swapping single-use items across our nurseries in favour of natural resources.

•Udeskole accreditation – facilitating opportunities to unlock the potential of the outdoors.

Supporting Families in Our Communities

We value the strong links we make with our local communities and understand that such partnerships are a vital part of a child’s learning and development. Here are just some of the ways we’re supporting our communities:

•Hosting zoom meet-ups with care homes and sending #PostcardsOfKindness to combat isolation.

•Delivering hamper boxes to local volunteer centres.

•Supporting families facing financial difficulty, bereavement, or long-term illness.

•Providing resources to community hubs like libraries and children’s centres.

•Offering free classes for local parents, from baby messy play to preschool art.

•Sponsoring local grassroots sports teams.

•Fundraising for local and national charities.

•Supporting homeless and vulnerable families via our #KeepWarmWarrington appeal.

•Providing free meals for children on 15-hour funded places.

•Offering funded-only children in deprived areas a free packed lunch on days they don’t attend.
