Zebedees at the National NMT Nursery Awards 2025 | Celebrating Nursery Success

10th November 2025

The National NMT Nursery Awards 2025 provided an exceptional evening of recognition for the early years sector. Zebedees was proud to attend and celebrate the achievements of nurseries, suppliers and professionals who continue to deliver outstanding care and support for young children.

Although Zebedees did not win Supplier of the Year, being shortlisted among respected organisations in the early years sector remains a significant achievement for our team. We continue to focus on delivering high quality, nutritious meals for nurseries across the UK and we are motivated to keep enhancing the service we provide.

A highlight of the evening was seeing two nurseries we cater for receive recognition for their excellent work. We are delighted to congratulate Seahorse Nursery and Scallywags Chelmsford on their award wins. Their dedication to providing exceptional early years experiences is evident every day and it is a privilege for Zebedees to support them as their catering partner.

Zebedees was also pleased to sponsor the Independent Nursery of the Year award. Supporting this category reflects our commitment to celebrating high standards, strong leadership and positive outcomes for early years settings.

We were equally proud of our colleagues Alastair and Dawn who were invited to serve on the judging panel for the Deputy Manager of the Year category. Their involvement demonstrates the confidence and trust the sector places in their experience and insight.

The event was a reminder of the passion and professionalism that define the early years community. We congratulate all winners and finalists and look forward to continuing our work in partnership with nurseries to deliver nutritious meals that support children’s wellbeing and development.
