Tommies Childcare Awards Ceremony 2023: The Winners

Tommies Childcare Awards Ceremony 2023: The Winners

The Tommies Awards Ceremony, our most glamorous event of the year, took place on Saturday, 28 October. Staff from our eight nurseries in the Midlands and Warwickshire came together to recognise each other’s achievements and enjoy a well-deserved evening of celebration. 

We are so excited to finally reveal the award winners to you. Before you find out who has won, though, we would like to take a moment to thank all parents and families who took the time to submit their nominations. Each year, we seem to break the record for the number of nominations received. This year was no different, and you helped us break the record again, as we received more than 1,000 nominations. 

Now, without further ado, let’s look at this year’s winners.
