The votes were taken in online and the ratings were issued based on overall standard, facilities and outdoor space, learning, resources, equipment and ICT, care, activities, staff, food, management, cleanliness and safeguarding. Value for money was also taken into consideration.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Village End, Creche, Nursery, Pre School & Mini Camp on being rated by parents as a top nursery in South East England. Being chosen as one of the best nurseries by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“This year has been a huge challenge for nurseries, many of whom were offering childcare to vulnerable and keyworker children during lockdown and have now opened up fully, giving parents and children that vital return to ‘normality’.

“We hope these awards will boost the spirits of nursery staff and give parents valuable guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.

“Reviews of our Top 20 nurseries show these settings stimulate and nurture children, enhancing their social and emotional wellbeing as well as their learning.”
