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.

Andrea added: “I have worked at the nursery since it opened and I am very proud of this.”

The National Nursery Recognition Awards celebrate the hard work of nurseries in the UK, recognising the contribution of professional childcare providers and community members.

There are 120 nurseries hoping to get one of the 17 awards available, which will be announced at a ceremony at Athena in Leicester on January 26, 2019.
