A MALVERN nursery has ranked among the West Midlands’ top 20 in a survey completed by parents and carers.
Shining Stars Nursery and Pre-School received the top 20 award after 1,396 early years providers were scored by children’s families on daynurseries.co.uk, a nursery review site.
The nurseries were rated on overall standard, facilities and outside space, learning, resources and equipment, ICT, care, activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding as well as value for money.
There are over 14,000 nurseries, caring for around one million children in the UK, with over 400,000 people working in the childcare sector.
Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School.
“Being chosen as one of the best nurseries in the UK by family and carers of children is a huge achievement.
“Our award is recognition from parents and carers that this nursery is offering their children a high standard of care and a stimulating environment, which will hopefully help create strong self-esteem and a lifelong love of learning.
“We hope these awards give parents that much needed guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.”
Shazia Begum, director of Shining Stars Nursery & Pre-School, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be awarded one of the Top 20 Nurseries in the West Midlands for the third year in a row.
“To win this once again is testament to the commitment of our skilled team in providing superb childcare and early years education for the families who choose us.
“We are an inclusive nursery who celebrate diversity and work with families from all sorts of backgrounds, including those who are disadvantaged or struggling, as we believe that every child should have the right to the social and developmental benefits that nursery and pre-school offer.
“I would like to thank every member of the fantastic team and every person who took the time to leave us a review.
“As a family-run business, you are all essential to everything we do and to this marvellous achievement.”
