CHESHAM, U.K. -- The three finalists are Elaine Wright, who is up for the Nursery Lifetime Achievement Award, the Training and Development Team, who will be competing for the Nursery Training and Development Award, and Asquith’s new business venture: Asquith Nannies, which is up for the Nursery Business Newcomer Award.
Asquith CEO Andy Morris said: “The NMT Awards provide the perfect opportunity to acknowledge the successes and triumphs across our sector. Childcare is a tough industry and these awards recognise all champions, from the skilled and dedicated people in the nurseries to the ground-breaking initiatives that find new ways of meeting the needs of a changing market. I am so proud of all the Asquith finalists and our outstanding staff members who deliver exceptional childcare each day.”
Elaine Wright, finalist for the Nursery Lifetime Achievement Award, began a career at Springfields Pre-School & Day Nursery when it first opened in 1989. Since then, both the setting and Elaine have flourished, with the nursery recently achieving two back-to-back ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings.
The Training and Development Team plays an essential part in ensuring the consistency and quality of the childcare and education delivered throughout the nurseries, and ensures that every member of staff has the opportunity for career progression and support.
Launched in January 2013, Asquith Nannies provides a global first for the industry. The new initiative offers flexible, individual nanny time combined with sessions in an Asquith nursery. Asquith Nannies MD Martin Hinchliffe commented: “We are delighted to be offering new and existing Asquith customers a much broader range of options to meet their own personal requirements. The team is proud to have made the finals in the prestigious NMT Nursery Business Newcomer category, and we wish all finalists the very best of luck.”
The winners will be announced at the ceremony on Saturday 30th November.
