Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
Ards Borough Council has awarded Donaghadee Primary School pupils with a brand new wormery in recognition of their commitment to reducing and re-using waste.
Worms will eat the school's kitchen and garden waste, eating up to their own body weight in food every day, and producing compost for pupils to use in their garden.
Donaghadee Primary has already introduced a comprehensive environmental programme, using blue bins to recycle paper, cardboard, tins and plastic bottles, monitoring electricity usage, while also developing outdoor learning by planting herbs and vegetables, a willow arch, trees, and creating a log pile to attract insects and other wildlife.
Clive Catterson, Waste Awareness Officer with the Council, said: "Donaghadee Primary has been working extremely hard to recycle and re-use as much of its waste as possible and the wormery will assist further, as well as being a great educational tool."
