There are 11 Mumbler Awards up for grabs each year. Each individual Award is sponsored by a local business.
Who is your favourite Children’s shop? This may be a shoe shop, clothes shop, toy shop, sweet shop or even a kiosk or stall.
We want to know who is the best at retailing to the children’s market.
Have they dealt with challenging toddlers well or gone above and beyond when sourcing an item? This is your chance to let them know what you think.
2019: Winner: Hopscotch
Highly Commended: Games Crusade
Trusting someone else to take care of your children is a difficult decision to make however we regularly hear from Mumblers just how great the childcare
provision in our area is.
This category is to celebrate the nursery that Mumblers love the most.
Should your nominated nursery be part of a multiple provider, please ensure that you specify the individual location of the nursery and its name, rather than just stating the group to which it belongs. Any nominations of nursery groups will not be considered.
2019: Winner: Little Explorers Day Nursery
Highly Commended: Safehands Day Nursery
Pre-schools are wonderful for getting your youngsters ready for the transition into “big school” and we want to recognise those who are going above and beyond your expectations.
Please nominate in this category if you want to let your child’s pre-school know that you really appreciate the work that they are doing in caring for and preparing our children for school.
2019: Winner: Performatots Harrogate
Highly Commended: Mud & Puddles
We are very fortunate in our area that there are so many classes and activities for children.

more.

We have all been to countless children’s parties but some are head and shoulders above the rest.
In this category you can tell us which ones have been the most memorable. It may be a venue, a company or an individual who has really made your child’s big day special.
2019: Winner: Painting Pots Knaresborough. Highly Commended: World of Their Own
The number of entrepreneurial mums & dads on Harrogate Mumbler is staggering and this category recognises their hard work and determination to
make a go of their business enterprises during the past 12 months whilst still juggling family life.
Nominations can be for any parent who runs their own business in our locality, someone who has provided you with a great product or service and who you think deserves a bit of recognition.
Please note: We would like to recognise a new person each year so this Mumbler Award is not open to previous winners.
2019: Winner: Vicky Little, Fiit Like a Girl

This award recognises the efforts of an individual who has really made a difference. It may be a teacher or TA, a member of staff at a nursery; a sports coach, a group leader or anyone who has made a huge impact on your Childrens life.
This is your opportunity to say “thank you” for their efforts!
Please make sure you make sure that you include a full explanation on the nomination form.
We all know that securing school holiday childcare can be a nightmare! Fortunately we have plenty of clubs, groups & activities that provide care for our kids after school and in the school holidays.
Nominate your favourite club, camp or school holiday activity here & we can celebrate those who do it so well!
The Mumbler “Community Award” was developed to honour a person or group of people who are making significant contributions to their community
through their time, actions, talents and dedication. This is someone who goes above and beyond to ensure that they help the community in their own special way.
Persons being nominated for this award will have consistently demonstrated qualities of compassion, and service to either one organisation or a variety of volunteer activities over the past year. They can be nominated or nominate themselves.
This Award (unlike the others) is not judged on number of votes, but rather the detail & information provided by the person nominating. The winner will be chosen by a panel of guest judges & Mumbler staff.
2019: Winner: Kenneth Webb. Award accepted in his memory by his daughter Karen.
Community Award Nomination Form.
Nominations are now open and will close on 31st July. We will then announce the shortlist in September – Happy Voting!
