A Night Afloat: Nursery Sector Leaders Dine on the Sunborn Yacht

The nursery sector swapped conference halls for open water as leaders from across early-years education stepped aboard London’s iconic Sunborn Yacht for an evening hosted by Nursery Management Today.

Moored beside the shimmering lights of Royal Victoria Dock, the yacht set the scene for a relaxed yet inspiring gathering. The event brought together nursery owners, managers, sector suppliers and thought-leaders who rarely get the chance to slow down and simply connect. The atmosphere blended celebration with reflection: a moment to acknowledge the sector’s resilience and creativity in a year of shifting policies, rising expectations, and relentless passion for quality childcare.
