Organic September at Tops

This September, join us as we raise awareness of the incredible benefits organic living can bring for our climate, nature and our health. In the face of climate change, diet related ill-health and widespread decline in wildlife, the need to change our food systems has never been greater. Furthermore, Organic September is a month-long campaign to raise awareness of the many benefits of organic food and farming.

Things You Can Do!

1. Find Organic Produce Near You

An important aspect of Organic September is to choose more organic produce. Go to your local farmer’s markets, find small-scale producers, and find organic produce near you.

2. Inform Yourself about Organic Farming

Raising awareness about organic farming is necessary so people know the benefits to themselves and the environment. This Organic September, educate yourself about the benefits of organic farming and tell your friends.

3. Get your Community Involved

Switching to organic produce is a great first step, but getting more people involved in Organic September makes an even bigger impact. Encourage your community to buy organic together, making it more affordable and accessible for everyone.

Why To Do It!

1. It allows us to trust our food

Regular farming doesn’t give us information about the harmful effects of fertilizer and pesticide residue. Moreover, this is another reason we love organic produce because we can trust where the food is from and how it’s grown.

2. It helps to stop pollution

Pollution is dangerous, especially agricultural pollution. Organic September encourages us to support farming practices that keep the earth safe for us all.

3. It encourages us to be healthier

Organic food is much better for our overall health. We don’t want to hurt our bodies by eating chemical residue from harmful fertilizers and pesticides.

How We Get Involved in Organic September!

At Tops Day Nurseries, we actively engage children in sustainable practices from an early age. Habits formed during these years can last a lifetime, and we know how quickly young children absorb information by watching and participating. That’s why we model sustainability in everything we do, encouraging them to learn through action.

Children at our nurseries are hands-on in recycling and caring for the environment as part of their daily play. We talk about nature and the importance of respect every day—whether it’s through activities like the mud kitchen, bug garden, cleaning up after lunch, or exploring at Tops Forest School. In this nurturing environment, children develop empathy and a deep respect for all life, from plants to animals and each other. We believe that by involving them early, they become more conscious of their actions and the world around them.

What We Do at Tops Day Nurseries

At Tops Day Nurseries there are many things we do on a day to day basis to ensure we are being environmentally conscious, these include; DIY wet wipes, reusable nappies, natural resources, solar panels, electrical vehicles, home grown herbs and vegetables, rooms to support brain development, wet bags,our Joining Generations program and much more.

So whether you choose Queens Award, Schema Play, Tops Forest School, or do your own thing, being environmentally friendly is something that every child can easily learn about and practice every day, through appropriately trained and supported practitioners/educators/teachers.
