Nursery cutting down plastics to benefit children

An Island nursery is reducing the amount of plastics it uses for the benefit children.

Hopes & Dreams Nurseries on Woodbourne Road in Douglas is swapping plastic toys for natural resources and its new nursery areas have been created from all-natural materials.

Co-owner, Laura Peirce, says they want to make the place a 'home away from home' for youngsters and small changes like the ones they've made can help raise children for the future while having a positive environmental impact.

It comes several months after the nursery signed up to The Curiosity Approach accreditation programme which is a project dedicated to raising standards of early years provisions.
