A BRIERLEY Hill nursery has been named as the most recommended in the West Midlands.

The Learning Journey Day Nursery beat off stiff competition from 1,176 other nurseries in the region to win the accolade from daynurseries.co.uk.

The award was based on the nursery’s recommendations from the children’s families and carers.

Nursery manager, Penny Virdee said: “We are delighted at the award of being the number one recommended day nursery in the West Midlands. We have received this award within our first year of opening.

“We would like to thank all parents for their kind words and nominating The Learning Journey Day Nursery and the staff that provide day to day care for their loved ones.”

Davina Ludlow, director of the website, which offers a guide to day nurseries, wished to congratulate the Bromley nursery and added: “It is a fantastic achievement to be recognised as a highly recommended nursery by the families and carers of the children that attend the setting.

“Their recommendations show the warmth and excellent care that exists in so many day nurseries.

“The first five years of a child’s life are vital in shaping the adult they will become, which is why we decided to recognise those nurseries which are playing such an important part in our children’s lives.”
