UKMums.TV is delighted to announce the winners of its Baby & Pre-School Awards 2023. 

Organised and published by the online parenting website UKMums.TV, this awards programme is designed to recognise the best products, services and brands in the baby and pre-school domain. 

Much like the Mums Choice Awards, which will run later this year for the ninth consecutive year, the goal of the Baby & Pre-School Awards is to give parents and gift buyers a clear insight into which early years products are favoured by their peers. As with all award programmes run by UKMUMS.TV, entrants are judged through individual testing by the readers of UKMums.TV, as well as by the UKMums.TV team. 

“This year’s Baby & Pre-School Awards has been incredibly well supported, with entries from companies big and small! The standard has been exceptionally high, and we would like to thank all our entrants
