EducationCity.com scored a staggering 89/90 on the assessment criteria and wowed the judges who gave top marks for its usability, value for money and originality. 

“Good graphics, easy to understand and well worded instructions… Children are confident to have a go and self-correct, an excellent way to learn,” Durdans Park Primary School.

 “We are delighted to receive this award which is a great testament to the continued hard work of all of our team in developing EducationCity.com such that it provides children with an inspiring, engaging and motivational learning experience,” Richard Whalley, EducationCity.com’s Managing Director. 

The awards are specifically designed to evaluate new products within the important pre-school, foundation, KS1 and childcare sectors. They provide an important guide to those working in the industry who appreciate quality design and educational value when considering what to buy. Now in their tenth year the awards have become a benchmark of quality with endorsement received from childcare professionals.
