The Harvest Festival takes place each year in October and signifies the traditional start to the autumn season. The exact date of the festival changes each year and occurs on the full moon that appears closest to the autumn equinox.

The tradition of collecting food donations dates back to a long time ago in British history, when people relied on crops for food and farmers would give thanks for a good harvest. Now, communities typically come together to celebrate by collecting and donating produce to collect food for those in need.

This year, Little Oaks Day Nursery will be collecting donations for Malvern Hills Food Bank. We have a list of items that they urgently need within the nursery. If you would like to and are able to donate, we have a box set up in our reception area. We are extremely grateful to our parents and staff team for their support.

The children are learning about why we are collecting donations for the food bank. Understanding their community and the world around them is extremely important as it helps children appreciate the diversity of individuals and groups within it, which promotes a sense of inclusion and belonging.
