Awards

Our high standards in childcare, paired with our nurturing environment help children to thrive and grow. We are proud to have been recognised as a top nursery and pre-school for a variety of different awards.

Millie's Mark

In 2023, we became a Millie’s Mark accredited nursery, making us one of only two nurseries in the surrounding area. Having the Millie’s Mark award demonstrates our commitment to going above and beyond the minimum requirements for keeping children safe. It shows that all staff working directly with children not only hold a paediatric first aid certificate but that they are also competent in how to apply this in practice. Achieving Millie’s Mark shows we have the correct procedures and documentation in place and gives parents that greater reassurance.

Eat Out Eat Well - Gold Award

The Eat Out Eat Well scheme has been developed to reward caterers who make it easier for people to make healthier choices when eating out. The scoring takes into account the type of food, cooking methods and how meals are prepared. We are known for our great quality, nutritious and flavourful food and have been awarded the highest level of Gold.

The Bog Standard Toilet Award

The Bog Standard Toilet Award recognises the nursery’s efforts to provide children with a good standard of toilets. The nursery’s responsible and caring approach in managing children’s health and well being in this area is valued by ERIC, The Children’s Bowel and Bladder Charity.

Blooming Schools Competition

At Green Roots, we believe that children should learn, explore, play and spend time outdoors as much as possible. Our special attention to creating a beautiful outdoor space let us receive the Blooming School award from Britain in Bloom with the RHS and Southern Water, for our garden.

“To the extent over 4 families and neighbours have since joined Green Roots from our feedback and open praise of the nursery. The facilities are outstanding, the food is something I would happily down and order in a restaurant, but most importantly the staff are phenomenal.”
