Nursery World - #StandUpForEarlyYears: Nursery group collects children's coats to support local families

Financially struggling families in Peterborough are being supported by a local nursery group that is gathering children’s coats to ensure that they are warm this winter.

Stars Day Nurseries is collecting winter coats for children in families facing hardship

Stars Day Nurseries, which has 11 nurseries in the Peterborough region, is collecting used children’s coats and providing them to families who are facing financial pressure across the city.

The Wrap Up Campaign is being led by the Stars and Sparkles Foundation, started by Stars Day Nurseries in association with Stars and Sparkles CIC, which was established by the nursery group’s owners and directors last year after seeing the need for more community-based support in the area.

Stars and Sparkles fundraising manager Katie Clipston said, ‘At a time when families across Peterborough are facing uncertain times, we need to support each other. We want to ensure every child in Peterborough has their basic needs met and is warm. If a child’s basics needs are met, they have better chances of learning and reaching their full potential.
