NDNA Awards 2019 - opening soon!

The NDNA Nursery Awards, now in their 16th year, are the only early years awards voted for by parents as well as judged on excellence. 

A rigorous shortlisting process involving visits and interviews by our early years experts is followed by submission to our judging panel.

"The nursery has been inundated with applications for children to join our setting since winning the award, so much so we have no need to market the nursery at the moment."

Annie Silcock, Nursery Director, Smarties Smartcare Ltd - NDNA Nursery of the Year 2018 Overall Winner
