Gala Celebrations & Staff Awards 2010
Fun and celebrations were enjoyed by more than 120 staff from across the First Class Child Care family at our 5th Annual Staff Awards & Gala Celebrations night held on Saturday 29th January 2010 at The Coniston Hotel near Gargrave.
Staff celebrated in style at the classy Coniston venue and individual nursery achievements were recognised including fundraising, NVQ's and events throughout the year, before dancing the night away amongst friends and colleagues.
The Staff Awards 2010 were the main feature of the evening and nominations were received from fellow staff across all the nurseries with the shortlisting, as always, proving a very difficult process. The 'roll of honour' is listed below.
