Partou shortlised in five categories at National NMT Nursery Awards

September 11th, 2024

We're proud to announce that we've been shortlisted in five categories for the National NMT Nursery Awards.

In addition to being a finalist for the prestigious Large Nursery Group accolade, three of our settings and a much-loved Nursery Manager are in the running to receive an award.

Nursery Management Today (NMT) is the UK’s leading publication for nursery managers and owners, providing the latest news, insights and tips from across the Early years Sector.

For the past 22 years, they have celebrated achievements from across the industry through the National NMT Nursery Awards.

Each year, nursery groups and childcare professionals are invited to submit an entry to the awards. Entries are then judged by a panel of experts who shortlist a series of finalists before selecting a winner.

We have been shortlisted for a total of five awards. Each of these signifies the incredible work happening across our nurseries and celebrates the passion and commitment of our team members.
