Every year, our Midnight Moon Awards sets the stage for unforgettable moments. 2025 will be no different. And this year, there’s something in the water…
Dive into our dazzling deep-sea dream at the 2025 Midnight Moon Awards on Saturday 8 November. We’re taking the Hilton Birmingham Metropole under the sea for a night of incredible food, vibrant entertainment and the main event: our awards!
Want to discover the bounty of the seven seas and how you can take away one of the coveted Awards? Watch this space as we’ll be announcing all Award categories very shortly. We’ll be reviewing each nursery based on the following criteria from now through to the event in November – that gives you plenty of time to make some waves.
Then get ready to shake those fins and dance the night away as you immerse yourself in our Deep Sea dream.
Anchors away – tickets are now on sale via The Hub and we can’t wait to sea you there!

Midnight Moon Awards 2025 – nominations now open!
It’s that exciting time again! Every year, we come together to celebrate the dedication, passion and excellence of our nursery teams at our Midnight Moon Awards.
There are 10 fantastic awards up for grabs – including a brand-new accolade! – each recognising the outstanding contributions of individuals and teams across our network. As always, our winners embody our vision of becoming The Most Loved nursery brand.
What’s new this year?
While most awards continue to be nominated by staff and parents, this year sees a slight change in the nomination process. Some awards will be selected by the Franchise/Denfield team – no nominations required. View the specific nomination information, alongside the award criteria, below.
Read the criteria carefully, and don’t forget to mark those nomination deadlines in your diaries so nominees don’t miss out on their chance to shine!
