Fundraise With Your Nursery

Inspire Little Ones to Make a Big Difference

Nurseries are magical places full of imagination, energy, and kindness — and that makes them perfect for fundraising! Whether you're a nursery manager, early years educator, or a parent, you can help teach children the joy of giving back while having fun.

Why Get Involved?

Fundraising is a fantastic way to:

• Encourage empathy and teamwork

• Support a great cause in a fun, age-appropriate way

• Bring your nursery community together — children, staff, and parents!

Every pound raised helps Haven House Children's Hospice support more seriously ill children and their families to live the best life possible across your community.

 Easy Fundraising Ideas for Nurseries

• Mini Art Show - Let children create their own masterpieces and display them in a mini gallery for parents to visit and donate.
• Teddy Bear Picnic - Host a special picnic day where children bring in their favourite cuddly toy. Ask parents for a small donation to join the fun!
• Dress-up day - Have a themed day — superheroes, animals, favourite book characters — and ask for a small contribution to take part.
• Sing-along session - Invite parents for a special performance of the children's favourite songs or rhymes. Serve refreshments and suggest a donation.
• Bake sale or Cake raffle - Parents and staff can contribute baked goods to sell or raffle off at pick-up time.
• Sponsored welly walk - Plan a fun outdoor walk — around the garden, park, or even indoors if needed! Children wear their favourite wellies and get sponsored by friends and family. 
• Mini talent show - Let the little stars shine! Children can sing, dance, act, or show off their special skills in front of parents. Tickets or donations at the door. 
• Guess the teddy's name - Have a cuddly toy on display and let parents/children guess its name for a small fee. The winner takes the teddy home! 
• Storybook Pyjama Day - Children wear PJs and bring their favourite bedtime story. Include a cosy story session with hot chocolate (and a donation!).
• Your own fundraising idea - if the above sparked inspiration, put on your own fundraising event! 

We can provide:

• Printable posters and donation forms

• Certificates for participating nurseries and children

• Easy-to-follow fundraising guides

• A letter template for parents
