Balloon for a Loo!

Bower Busy Bees is Caithness’s first Early Learning Centre (ELC) to drive forward outdoor learning for 2 – 5 year old children. Based in Bower, the setting sits in the centre of the Caithness countryside and attracts children from across the county. The nursery’s ethos is that spending time outside in nature is the best way to learn.

We are seeking funding to install a compost toilet and changing facility. This would have a big impact on the daily lives of the nursery children. Currently we have two toilet cubicles/changing area, in the playroom building, on the other side of the car park. Their position, being so removed from the forest, and the frequency with which pre-school children can need to use the facilities, means that this is very disruptive to the day. Our staff have reported that leaving the forest environment interrupts the children’s engagement with learning opportunities. A compost toilet and changing facility within the forested area would reduce time away from the natural environment, maximising the experience and known benefits of outdoor learning.

Bower Busy Bees ELC itself are designed to ensure long-term environmental, economic and social sustainability. This project will feed into this established benefit stream, whilst providing an opportunity and increasing the attractiveness of the setting in line with the existing ethos.

Help us to achieve our aim of installing a compost loo buying buying a virtual balloon in our name.

Thank you!
