Welcome to the Nursery World Awards website, where you can find out all about our awards, the categories and how to enter, and read about last year’s winners.

The Nursery World Awards recognise and highlight the best that is being achieved throughout the UK early years sector by organisations, teams, individuals, initiatives and equipment providers.

They shine a light on the hard work, innovation and dedication of those in early years education and child care, communicating aspects of best practice and helping to raise the profile of the sector.

Early years education and childcare services have undergone a revolution over the past decade or so, with many of the changes still underway. Recently, we have seen the launch of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the introduction of the Early Years Professional programme as the drive to raise qualification levels and skills and ensure high quality early years services continues apace.

Yet the fantastic work going on in the sector is often not recognised and rewarded, and the Nursery World Awards aim to put this right.

Entries for this year's Awards will soon be open.  Note the entry deadline - 7th May - in your diary today - and make sure that the dedication and talent found in abundance in the early years sector receive their accolades.

Good luck!
