In August 2024, the German Kindergarten London Fields has been awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag and is an accredited Eco-Schools nursery. As an Eco-school, we teach children about environmental issues and guide and empower the Kindergarten community to deliver eco-projects that make our nursery more sustainable, increase environmental learning, and benefit our local community.
