We’ve only done it again!

We are proud to announce that we have been awarded a place in the Daynurseries Top 20 Large Nursery Group 2026, recognising us as one of the highest rated nursery groups in the region.

This prestigious award is based entirely on reviews and feedback from parents and carers, reflecting their experiences of our early education and care across our nurseries and forest schools.

This recognition highlights the dedication and professionalism of our staff teams, who work tirelessly to create welcoming, nurturing and stimulating environments where children feel safe, valued and supported to thrive. Strong relationships with families, built on trust, care and open communication, remain at the heart of our approach.

Zoe Raven, our CEO, commented:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be recognised in the Day Nurseries Top 20 for 2026. This award is a real tribute to our dedicated staff teams, who work so hard throughout the year, and to our incredibly supportive parents at each of our nurseries.”

Listening to the voices of families plays a vital role in our ongoing development, with parent feedback helping to shape practice and drive continuous improvement across our organisation. This award reflects the strong partnerships we build with families and our shared commitment to high quality early years experiences.

We are a not-for-profit organisation providing high quality, nurturing and inclusive early education and care. Operating nurseries and forest schools across Milton Keynes, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire, we are known for our child-centred ethos, strong community values, and commitment to outdoor learning and sustainability.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on our core mission: to provide safe, stimulating and loving environments where children can flourish.

We would like to thank all the families who took the time to leave reviews and share their feedback. Their support and trust are central to this achievement and to our continued success.
