We asked some of the nominees who are also franchisees how they felt about being recognised:

“Wow it feels fantastic to have received enough nominations to be through to the voting stages. The What’s On 4 Awards are very highly regarded with parents, so we’re really pleased.” – diddi dance Founder, Anne-Marie

“I was over the moon to hear I had made it through to the next stage of the What’s On 4 Awards. To feel valued by our lovely diddi dance parents makes it totally worthwhile.
I’m also very proud of my teacher Hannah making it through, as well, and thank her for her commitment and hard work.
To make the finals would be a fantastic achievement. ” – Nicola

“I am absolutely thrilled to be nominated for the ‘most outstanding activity award leader-South’. I have only been running since September and absolutely LOVE teaching diddi dance and seeing my children have fun and grow in confidence. I have met some great families and feel honoured to have received so much positive feedback and support so early on in my diddi dance career.” – Caroline

“I love being part of the diddi dance team. Knowing that the parents and grandparents who bring their children to class believe we deserve the recognition by nominating diddi dance as best national preschool class is the icing on the cake – being nominated myself as best preschool leader in the south is the cherry on the top! Thank you, thank you!” – Louise

“I am thrilled to have been nominated again this year as it’s a true validation of what we do at diddi dance. The fact that others enjoy our classes enough that they have taken the time to nominate us let’s me know it’s not just me having all the fun in class! These awards are voted for by parents and parents only want the best for their little one, so a nomination like this is such a privilege and an honour.” – Joanna
