The Awards of Excellence are one of the most exciting highlights in the Bright Horizons calendar – a special evening where we come together to recognise, celebrate, and connect with our amazing colleagues across the organisation. Whether attending to support your local nursery team or cheering on a nominee, it’s always a joyful occasion filled with appreciation, laughter, great food, and dancing.
These awards are all about shining a spotlight on the outstanding dedication, compassion, and impact of our practitioners – the people who care for and nurture your children every day. And now, we’re inviting you to help us say thank you.
If you know a member of the nursery team who has gone above and beyond, why not nominate them? Whether you're a parent, or a client, anyone can put someone forward – and it only takes a few minutes.
We're also thrilled to introduce a brand-new category for 2025: the Men in Early Years Award – designed to champion greater gender diversity in early years roles by recognising the men making a meaningful difference in our settings.
Submit your nominations here and take a look at this year’s updated award categories – there’s something for everyone, and you’re welcome to nominate more than one person.
Nominations close on the 2nd August.
Don't miss the chance to recognise someone truly special.
Thank you for helping us celebrate what makes Bright Horizons so special – our people.
