The 'Muddy Stilettos' awards are open, and we'd love to be recognised as the BEST CHILDREN'S BUSINESS in Essex.

Particularly as this year we celebrate 25 YEARS! As one of the longest standing out of school clubs in Essex, this award would help recognise the commitment, passion and amazing service our Kids Club has provided to hundreds of families and children over the last 25 years.

Making magical memories since 2001.
