The Early Childhood Association India represents the booming early years sector in the country. Many nurseries in India use the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum as the basis of their practice, and ECA believes Nursery World is invaluable for educating early years staff about the EYFS. ECA’s mission is to improve training, qualifications and regulations in India’s nurseries and pre-schools, and the award highlights the work of Nursery World in supporting this.

ECA President Dr Swati Popat Vats said, ‘Early Childhood Association is proud of the work by Nursery World. Many early years educators are your fans in India. Congratulations.’

Nursery World Editor Liz Roberts said, 'We’re honoured to receive this award, and delighted that Nursery World’s high-quality content and influence are being recognised internationally as well as in the UK’
