Monday 14 September 2026

We are absolutely delighted to celebrate not one, but two members of the Kamelia Kids team who have been recognised as finalists at this year’s prestigious National NMT Nursery Awards!

The National NMT Nursery Awards celebrate excellence across the UK early years sector, recognising outstanding individuals, teams and nursery providers who make a real difference to children and families.

🌟 Congratulations, Alicia!

We are incredibly proud of Alicia, who has been named a finalist for Apprentice of the Year.

Alicia’s dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to developing her skills make her a wonderful member of our Kamelia Kids team. Her apprenticeship journey is a fantastic example of how passion, hard work and a love for working with children can help build a rewarding career in the early years.

Being recognised at a national level is a fantastic achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything Alicia has accomplished so far.

⭐ Congratulations, Emma!

We’re also thrilled to announce that Emma has been named a finalist for the Rising Star Award!

Emma consistently brings energy, care and enthusiasm to her role, making a positive difference to the children in her care and to the wider Kamelia Kids team. This recognition is a wonderful reflection of her dedication and the exciting future she has ahead of her in the early years sector.

💚 A fantastic achievement for Kamelia Kids

Having two members of our nursery team recognised as finalists is something we are incredibly proud of. It highlights the talent, dedication and passion within our Kamelia Kids family and reminds us just how special our team is.

We’d like to wish Alicia and Emma the very best of luck at the National NMT Nursery Awards. Whatever the outcome, being named a finalist is an achievement to be incredibly proud of — and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way!

Congratulations, Alicia and Emma! We are so proud of you both! 🎉
