Nominations to the 2020 Teach Early Years Awards have closed, and we are delighted to reveal our finalists…

Celebrating the quality of our sector’s educational and professional development resources and services, our six nominations from each of our trade categories will be assessed by our strong expert panel of early years authors, leaders, consultants and educators. 

This year’s judges include best-selling author Alistair Bryce-Clegg, LEYF CEO June O’Sullivan MBE and manager of ‘outstanding’ preschool Busy Bees Ledbury, Emma Davies.

Their verdicts will be unveiled this October in a Teach Early Years digital supplement, which will showcase our five-, four- and three-star winners in each category.
