Esscroft Private Nursery in Burley-in-Wharfedale has once again received 5-star recognition for its services to Early Years.
The Top 20 Day Nursery Award is the sixth year the privately owned nursery has won in the Yorkshire and Humber region. The award is generated from online reviews, left by families accessing the service.
Parents boast:
“Choosing Esscroft was the best decision we could have made for our daughter and us. Thanks to the committed and skilled staff, and the nurturing, well-resourced environment, it’s clear she really loves her days at nursery.”
Proprietor, Maria Kouvatsos shared:
"Coming top of our Region for a sixth consecutive year is in true recognition to our amazing staff team. They are passionate about children’s learning and achievements and ensure all children make outstanding progress with us before moving onto school."
Last year, Esscroft celebrated 30-years of Service but also achieved other awards such as the Most Established Business at the Ilkley Business Awards and Best Nursery at the Prestige Awards.
Ellen Ogley, Nursery Manager commented:
“We really are a truly unique setting and we develop our curriculum to meet the emerging needs of our children. Recent developments include our exciting new Forest School which has already been a huge success with our children!”
