Katie Bradley, 38, from Woodthorpe in Nottingham, has been running Baby Sparks Mansfield since January 2024.

Hide AdOn hearing about her ‘Rising Star’ nomination, she said: “It’s an absolute honour to become a finalist for the ‘Nottingham Baby and Toddler Rising Star Award’, having being nominated by the wonderful families who attend my classes.


“Without them, I would not be able to run the classes and have the time of my life in my ‘job’.
“To become a finalist is such a wonderful achievement after just over 12 months in the industry.”
Nottinghamshire’s Baby Sparks has been nominated for the title of 'Nottingham's Most Loved Activity Provider for Babies' and hopes to retain this award after winning it in November 2023.
