How did you feel about being named Greenest Nursery in PlayhouseDisney's Playing for the Planet awards?
I was surprised, as I entered the competition at the eleventh hour andthought that we might get a special mention, not win the wholecompetition. We got a phone call a couple of weeks ago saying that wehad won and would receive a plaque to place outside the nursery and ajungle gym for the children.
