Eco Emotions — Self Assessment & Audit Tools

Eco-Educate Sustainability Self-Assessment Tool

Sustainability in the early years is about more than recycling or saving energy—it is about nurturing a deep respect for the world around us. Our Sustainability Self-Assessment Tool is designed to help you reflect on how sustainable your setting or room is, and to inspire small but meaningful changes.

For Babies (0–18 Months)

For Toddlers (1–3 Years)

For Young Children

For School-Age Children

Our audit tool is designed to be used again and again

You might:

1. Take it at the start of the year and again at the end to measure growth.

2. Retake it after introducing a new initiative or activity.

3. Use it to reflect with your team during staff meetings or professional development sessions.

4. Return to it whenever you want fresh inspiration or to celebrate how far you have come.

By engaging with this tool, you are investing in the children’s future. Teaching babies, toddlers, and young children about sustainability not only supports the environment but also strengthens their confidence, curiosity, and sense of agency. When children see themselves as capable of making choices that matter, they build the foundation for a lifelong connection with their world.
