Phonics Spell, a Warrington educational activity group for young children, has been shortlisted for a national award.

Phonics Spell, a Warrington children's activity group, has been shortlisted for the 'Most Loved Academic or Creative Activity' category at the 2026 What's On 4 Kids National Children's Activities Awards. The awards, now in their twentieth year, are voted for by the families who attend the activities, with tens of thousands of votes cast by families across the UK this year.

Founded by Jenny Priestley in November 2022, Phonics Spell provides educational classes for two- to five-year-olds designed to help develop early reading and writing skills through themed sessions. Classes are kept small to provide personalised attention, with the aim of enhancing social and emotional skills, speech, language and independence. Sessions are held at 10am on Mondays and Thursdays at The Hayloft, Sandy Lane, Bold Heath.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony at the Athena in Leicester on 26 November, hosted by actor, singer and presenter Jonathan Bremner.
