Celebrating Excellence: The ECSDN Awards Return in 2027!
​
Following the overwhelming success and incredible energy of our inaugural event, we are thrilled to announce that the ECSDN Awards will return in 2027!
​
Our first year set a new standard, creating an atmosphere that was truly unmatched in its warmth, passion, and genuine celebration of the early childhood workforce. More than just a ceremony, the inaugural awards acted as a vital platform to elevate the voices, dedication, and transformative impact of professionals and students across the UK.
​
By showcasing the incredible work happening on the ground, we have collectively highlighted the essential nature of early years education—and we are just getting started.​

The enthusiasm we witnessed from the sector was electric. The 2027 awards will continue our mission to:
