Rebecca Clevett, nursery director, Archfield House Nursery, Bristol – Nursery World Nursery of the Year 2023

We are looking ahead to 2024 with a mix of excitement as well as trepidation.

We were thrilled to be awarded ‘Nursery of the Year’ as well as maintaining our Outstanding. However, the trepidation stems from the continued sector uncertainty. We are about to embark on the early years expansion of ‘funded’ childcare. But we need to expand our workforce before this can successfully be implemented as well as receive fair funding, for all ages.

Our hope is we can work together to share the huge potential of working with the youngest children, a rewarding career awaits.
