Groundbreaking survey: Britain's Best Nurseries as voted by Britain's Parents
Parents of nursery school children across the UK are invited to vote by visiting www.bestbear.co.uk/parents/nursery_survey.aspx
If you fill in the survey before the end of May you will have a chance to win one of three £100 vouchers to spend on Aspace kids furniture.
Once their findings are published, www.bestbear.co.uk will also act as an ongoing platform for parents and childcarers to share comments about nurseries.
“The aim of our survey is to provide a different insight from Ofsted reports, and provide an invaluable source of information on where to go for the best nurseries, helping to establish minimum acceptable standards for nurseries, as judged by parents,” says Sally Harrison, Director of Best Bear.
With 30,000 unique users a month, Best Bear Childcare is already firmly established a comprehensive and quality-controlled guide to childcare agencies in the UK. With various new services added in the last six months, including parenting forums and the facility for parents to post their own classified ads, Best Bear Childcare can cater for all your childcare and parenting needs.
