Green Giraffe Nursery in Cardiff Bay received its first individual award as part of the 2026 daynurseries.co.uk awards and its parent group was also named one of the UK’s Top 20 Large Nursery Groups thanks to parent feedback.
The daynurseries.co.uk awards are based entirely on verified reviews from parents and carers, recognising both nursery groups and individual sites that consistently deliver exceptional early years care and education.
Tom Filer, owner at Green Giraffe Nurseries, said: “We are incredibly proud to see Green Giraffe recognised at both group and individual nursery level in the 2026 awards.
“The Cardiff Bay team should be especially proud to be named one of the Top 20 Nurseries in Wales for the first time.
“Awards based on parent feedback are the most meaningful of all, and this recognition reflects the care, commitment and professionalism our teams bring to their work every single day.”
This is the first time a Green Giraffe nursery has received an individual Top 20 award, marking a major milestone for the Cardiff Bay setting.
The award highlights the nursery’s reputation for delivering high-quality, child-led learning experiences in a warm, supportive environment built on strong relationships with children and families.
Green Giraffe Nurseries is known for its play-based, nature-inspired ethos, with learning carefully aligned to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to support children’s development.
The daynurseries.co.uk website is one of the UK’s leading nursery review platforms, and its annual awards are considered among the most trusted benchmarks in the early years sector.
Winners are selected solely based on consistently high reviews submitted by parents and carers throughout the previous year.
