Mini Pots of Care is open to nurseries and schools, and designed to teach children from three-years-old about science and nature, as well as the work of Marie Curie nurses.
The project invites children to plant a daffodil bulb in their own mini pot in the autumn and care for it throughout the winter months.
In the spring, early years settings and schools hold a Mini Pots of Care Day when children paint their pots and sell their daffodils in bloom to parents to raise money for the charity.
Settings who take part receive a free fundraising pack with information and ideas.
Since Mini Pots of Care launched seven years ago, over 17,900 nurseries and schools have taken part and raised more than £2.2 million for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
