Position: Secretary and committee member of Manaccan Pre-school,Helston, Cornwall
How did you feel about being named Greenest Nursery in PlayhouseDisney's Playing for the Planet awards?
I was surprised, as I entered the competition at the eleventh hour andthought that we might get a special mention, not win the wholecompetition. We got a phone call a couple of weeks ago saying that wehad won and would receive a plaque to place outside the nursery and ajungle gym for the children.
What makes the setting so green?
We have a pulley tunnel, a wormery, living playground and car-poolingsystem. We only use eco-friendly cleaning products. At the moment wehave plans to add a large sandpit area.
How is the pre-school celebrating?
There will be a small ceremony to place the plaque outside the nursery.We are also having a party next month to celebrate winning and thesuccess of our recent Ofsted inspection.
