Our 26 award categories provide the opportunity to celebrate and recognise the amazing work that goes on right across our sector.

We want to shine a spotlight on those individuals who make ‘a difference’ – and that individual could be you. Open to everyone involved in childcare and education, the Nursery World Awards continue to be the most prestigious accolades in early years. Each award has a story to tell that will inspire and motivate others.

These awards are open to nurseries and practitioners based in the UK and Ireland.
