From schools and nurseries to sensory lessons and cookery classes there are a huge range of businesses providing educational, supportive and enjoyable activities for children and young people.
See the categories »We also felt it was important to raise the profile of these types of business and help them achieve all they want to achieve - so the Businesses for Children Awards were born!
Find out more »Our sponsors are extremely important to us and ensure that this event can take place and that the businesses who do so much for children and young people continue to be recognised.

The statement above was said to me after my two-year-old son stood in front of his grandma and sang heads, shoulders, knees and toes in Spanish after just one term at Lingotot. I know I am lucky - I know they are lucky, and the businessmen and women that provide these sorts of opportunities should know what a wonderful job they are doing.
That is what the BCAs are all about!
