Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said:

“We would like to congratulate all three nurseries on being rated by parents as a top nursery in North West England! Being rated so highly by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement, especially for the second consecutive year.

“Our award is valuable recognition from parents and carers that the nurseries are offering their children an excellent standard of care and a stimulating environment, which will help boost their development and hopefully create a lifelong love of learning.

“We hope these awards give parents that much needed guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.”

Laura Brothwell, nursery manager at Little Leprechauns Day Nursery, said:

“We are extremely pleased to have received this award again. We are proud to offer a safe and nurturing environment for all children in our care. The team are so passionate and dedicated to the role they play in providing a warm home from home experience. The testimonials from our parents reflect this and we couldn't have achieved this without their support.”
