Ace-Owner

Nominations to this year’s Teach Early Years Awards have closed, and we are now delighted to reveal our finalists.

Comprising five nominations from each of our 12 trade categories, the shortlist features a wide variety of innovative resources – from construction toys and musical instruments, to CPD packages and picture books, and much more.

You can find a full listing below.

The next stage will see the finalists assessed by a nine-strong expert panel of early years authors, leaders, consultants and educators, amongst them LEYF CEO June O’Sullivan MBE, Old Station Nursery MD Sarah Steel and award-winning author/illustrator Lizzy Stewart.

Their verdicts will be unveiled in Teach Early Years magazine in September, with our five-, four- and three-star winners in each category showcased in a comprehensive Awards special.

To all those who made nominations, thank you again for taking part – and to our finalists, good luck!
