Earlier this week we headed to the big smoke for the first ever Progressive Pre-School Awards. We love getting our glad rags on and heading to a swish awards do, but coming home with a shiny new trophy really is the cherry on top, so we were over the moon when our Tropical PaddlePaks were named the Best Pre-School Accessories Range!

It's PaddlePak's 8th award to date, not that we're counting... ;o) Here are the guys...

We're very pleased to tell you that PaddlePak has picked up the top prize at two very recent parenting awards.
