Parents urged to nominate Orkney pre-school activity clubs and classes

Orkney’s pre-school activity clubs and classes are being asked to show they are “class acts” by entering the UK’s biggest parenting awards.

The competition is open to all activity classes for under fives including music classes, baby yoga and massage, exercise, swimming, singing and signing.

Last year over a million mums cast their votes as part of the awards on parenting website Netmums.com.

And this year local editor Emma Maxwell wants Orkney’s classes to be recognised nationally.

Winning businesses will be honoured on the site which has three million users every month and get a special certificate to display in their classes.

Nominations are open now until May 14 on Netmums.com.

A local shortlist will be available from May 21 for mums to vote for the final winners.

To nominate go to Netmums.com and look for pre-school classes awards.
