DESPITE only being up and running for just over a year, a Rowley Regis day care centre has been given a top borough honour.

Bookworms Day Care, which is based at Brickhouse Community Centre in Carnegie Road, has picked up the Pre-School Childcare Award at Sandwell Council’s recent Early Years and Childcare Celebration Event.

Kylie Rutland, nursery manager, said: “Bookworms Brickhouse has only been up and running for just over a year and we are extremely proud and overwhelmed with this achievement.”

Held every year, the awards celebrate nurseries, playgroups and child minders across the borough.

Nomination forms are sent out to parents and they can either nominate a practitioner or setting who they believe is deserving of the award.
