Leaf Living partnered up with Avanti Meadows Primary School to celebrate World Book Day this March. Hayley Adil, on behalf of the Leaf Living team, visited the children to donate book vouchers to mark the occasion; the contributions will be used by teachers and pupils to select new books for the library and book collections, including newly released titles and additional copies of well-loved popular books.

 

After meeting the children and hearing about their favourite stories, Hayley presented a voucher for £150 to the teachers. She said: "We’re proud to play an active role in the communities in which we deliver rented homes to families. This was a brilliant way to celebrate World Book Day and build new relationships with our close neighbours at Avanti Meadows Primary School, just a mile from our homes to rent at Stortford Fields.”

 

Helen Hibbins, Assistant Principal: Curriculum & Assessment at Avanti Meadows Primary School said: “It was a pleasure to welcome the Leaf Living team, who share our community ethos, to the school to join our celebrations. The children very much enjoyed World Book Day and dressing up as their favourite characters. Leaf’s donation will help us expand our book collection, benefitting our reading for pleasure programme.”

 

Leaf Living has a range of family houses available to rent at Stortford Fields, with more properties available soon. These homes are designed for modern family living. All properties are energy efficient with an EPC rating of C or above, are pet friendly and include smart home technology such as keyless entry and smart thermostats. Residents benefit from flexible tenancies, a no deposit option through flatfair, and high speed internet included. Each development is professionally managed, giving residents long term security and responsive maintenance support.

On 6th March, rented homes provider Leaf Living partnered up with Braybrook Primary School and Apricot Nursery in Peterborough to celebrate World Book Day. Members of the Leaf Living team visited the children to donate books and vouchers to mark the occasion; the contributions will be used by teachers and pupils to select new books for the library and book collections, including newly released titles and additional copies of well-loved popular books.

 

With pupils dressed up as their favourite literary characters, the team participated in a storytelling session at the nursery and later in the day, proudly presented a voucher for £150 to teachers at Braybrook Primary School.

 

Hayley Adil, Marketing Manager at Leaf Living said: "We’re committed to playing a proud and active role in the communities in which we deliver rented homes to families. We spent a lovely morning meeting the teachers and the children to celebrate World Book Day and build new relationships with our close neighbours at Braybrook Primary School and Apricot Nursery.”

 

Hannah King Deputy Head at Braybrook Primary School said: “Books offer more than just the pleasure of reading; they provide an opportunity to broaden children's imaginations and support their educational development. We are delighted to receive support from Leaf Living, a community-minded business, not just through this donation but also through the homes they’re bringing for families near our school."

 

Deborah Cobb, Senior Nursery Manager from Apricot Nursery added: “We’re grateful for this donation and delighted to share the experience of children enjoying the new books with Leaf Living. Supporting families and children in the local area is our goal at Apricot Nursery, and partnering with Leaf Living, who shares this value, helps us increase our resources to do so."

 

Leaf Living has recently launched new two, three, four and five-bedroom houses in Great Haddon Wood, just five miles south of the city, with more homes to rent coming soon to Hampton Water and Orton Copse, both located in Peterborough. Stamford Gardens, in Stamford, has also launched a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom homes are now available just a 30-minute drive from the city. All the homes provide stylish, airy living spaces and a modern, sustainable specification. The properties boast an EPC rating of B or above, which can mean energy usage and monthly bills are lower than in most second-hand homes. The kitchens include a comprehensive suite of integrated appliances, and every house offers a private lawned garden as well as private parking spaces.

 

Leaf Living’s homes offer advantages over traditional private rented options with a choice of 12, 24 or 36-month tenancy agreements, and pets are welcome. A no-deposit option is available through a partnership with flatfair, replacing traditional security deposits with a one-time fee equal to one week's rent. Additionally, tenants enjoy complimentary smart home technology and Sky Superfast broadband.
