A Twickenham nursery manager is over the moon after receiving award-winning accreditation.

Beaumont House Day Nursery in Heath Road achieved the Platinum Just Quality Adding Impact Award.

The award is recognised across the early years sector and demonstrates how nurseries are improving children's learning and development each day with effective teaching and practice.

The Ofsted-rated Good nursery has been working towards the accreditation from Jigsaw Early Years Consultancy over the last pandemic year.

Nursery manager Kay Johnson-King said: "We are thrilled to have been recognised for the hard work and dedication we put in each and every day to make a difference to the lives of the children we care for, and their families.

"Our brilliant team have worked tirelessly over the last year, and it is wonderful to be able to have achieved this accolade together, and to continue adding impact across our setting."

Feedback from the assessment praised the nursery for its dedication to "creating an environment that each child is excited to come into each day", as well as praising the ways in which the nursery "incorporates nature into teaching" from creating fairy gardens to bug hotels.

Beaumont House Day Nursery aims to provide "inspiring" environments for children aged 12 weeks to five years. It is part of the independent CC Nurseries group, which gives early childhood learning and care for more than 500 families in settings across England and Scotland.

CC Nurseries senior manager Hannah Little said: "I am extremely proud of the team who have shown very well how we demonstrate IMPACT within our nursery, through the six key areas which form the accreditation.

"I look forward to seeing how they use this to progress further, and how they will embed this into their practice moving forward."

The nursery is accepting applications for enrolment and interested families can visit for a tour of the nursery.
