THE Elmscot Group, a childcare group with four day nurseries and nursery schools in Timperley and Hale, has been selected as one of seven finalists at the national Nursery World Awards for Nursery Chain of the Year.
The award considers Ofsted inspection outcomes, parental opinion and examines what strengths make the group successful.
It also asks each finalist how it ensures consistent provision of high quality of childcare and early years education, how it develops its staff and what its plans are for the future.
On the Elmscot Group being shortlisted, Elizabeth Jamieson, from Nursery World, said: “This is a tremendous achievement for the Elmscot Group against incredibly tough competition this year, congratulations!”
Stephanie Molnar, co-owner of the Elmscot Group, said: “It is an honour to be shortlisted along with some of the best providers in the country and of course, we are very proud to be recognised amongst them.
"But our values have never changed and we continue to make every effort to provide exceptional environments with inspirational teachers to ensure all children at our setting are safe, happy, healthy and love learning.”
The awards presentation will take place on September 24 at the Brewery, London.
