Banbury School Day Nursery is one of seven on a shortlist for Best Independent Nursery in the National Nursery Recognition Awards.
The winner will be decided based on a public vote at nationalnurseryawards.co.uk/nominate/vote.
Nursery director Andrea Brooker said: “We are very excited to have gotten through to the final and this is extra special as this will be the year of the nursery being open for 30 years. How far we have come since then!”
The nursery, voted the Banbury Guardian Nursery of the Year 2018, was founded by Anita Higham, a head teacher at then-Banbury School who saw the need to help parents at work, opening a nursery on the school site.
