Blooming Fantastic Win At National Awards For Bloom Baby Classes
/Founder Victoria Jennings at the National Whats on for kids awards 2019
On Friday 11th October Bloom were announced as the UK’s Most Loved Baby Class at the national whats on 4 kids awards. We are truly over the Blooming moon!!
The Whats on 4 kids awards are the most prestigious awards in the UK and the Bloom team headed down to London to celebrate their win. When I created Bloom back in 2017 my goal was to be able to proudly show the Whats on 4 kids badge and this weekend my dream came true!
I invited 3 franchisees down together with head of creative design Amanda Gray who makes all the beautiful props that you see in the classes. This year was the first year Bloom had been nominated for any awards and over 80,000 people took part in the national voting. To those in the industry, these prestigious awards are like “the Oscars” of the kids activities industry.
Supporting me at the awards were fellow franchisees Jess Knight from Bloom Cheshire West, Caroline Beckett from Bloom Cheshire East and Louisa Murphy from Stockport South. We ran a competition back in August for 3 people to join me at the event.
When the time came around to announce the winner of the first award my heart was pounding out of my chest. When our name was called out screams of joy filled the room from the five of us! Sorry fellow attendees! I had no speech planned as I didn’t think we would win so I muddled through with a fairly emotional and blubbering thank you to everyone.
National awards like these mean so much to us all at Bloom Baby Classes as this is recognition of all our hard work and its the parents of our classes who actually vote. To win both awards tells me we are doing something very right and on behalf of myself and my amazing team of franchisees, we thank all our families who have brought their babies to our classes since we began in 2017.
