Harriet Uwalaka, head of early years at Kingscourt Nursery, said: “As a team we have been absolutely thrilled to achieve a Day Nurseries top ten award.

“What makes this award extra special is that it is based on reviews from our parent community. At the heart of everything we do at Kingscourt Nursery is care. We know each child -their personality, interests and what makes them tick so that we can deliver the most relevant education, care and support The Kingscourt Nursery operates like an extended family where we work together as partners to support children to thrive.

“Sharing practice and making the setting as transparent as possible is an absolute passion of mine and my team. Parents and carers especially in the younger years of a child’s learning career should feel as much part of the learning journey as the child.

“The reviews that we received from parents for this award recognised and supported our ethos and learning intentions which is so pleasing.

“The reviews also highlighted very clearly what an amazing, highly experienced, passionate team we have at Kingscourt. It has been wonderful to celebrate our team, children and learning at Kingscourt through this award.”

“Being rated so highly by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“Our award is valuable recognition from parents and carers that this nursery is offering their children an excellent standard of care and a stimulating environment, which will help boost their development and hopefully create a lifelong love of learning.”
