An Essex nursery has won an award from the British Safety Council for the sixth year in a row. Springlands Day Nursery in Colchester was one of about 1,000 large and small enterprises throughout the country congratulated by Prime Minister Tony Blair after demonstrating lower than average accident rates, good safety policies, and plans and commitment to health and safety at the highest level. David Ballard, director general of the British Safety Council, said, 'By making safety an important feature of everyday work practice, Springlands Nursery is reducing accidents and ill health while improving productivity and profitability.'
