Staff at Victoria House Nursery, in Victoria Road, Douglas, have been celebrating after achieving the island’s quality assurance award – the Manx Quality Award.
It recognises high quality early years practice.
It was one of a number of institutions to be honoured at various levels with quality awards.
Others included Hopes and Dreams Buchan Nursery, Hopes and Dreams Parklands Nursery, Cronk y Berry School reception class, the Ark Community Nursery and Butterflies Day Nursery.
The 2015 Manx Step into Quality Award group consists of classes at Ballasalla Primary School, Henry Bloom Noble Primary School, Marown Primary School, Peel Clothworkers’ Primary School and Sandcastles Nursery at Cronk y Berry.
Victoria House Nursery owner and manager Carolyn Nicholson said: ‘The Manx Quality Award captures the ethos of Victoria House and is a true reflection of the Nursery’s vision for the children in their care.’
