We have some very exciting news to share: Inside Out Toys has been named a finalist for Best Wholesaler or Distributor at the Progressive Preschool Awards 2026.
We found out this week, and we're still smiling. Being shortlisted for one of the preschool industry's best-known awards is a proud moment for our whole team.
About the awards
The Progressive Preschool Awards are run by Progressive Preschool magazine and celebrate the best products, brands and businesses in the preschool sector each year.
The Best Wholesaler or Distributor category recognises companies that stand out for their product knowledge, strong communication and industry experience. Those are exactly the things we work hard on every day for the retailers we supply.
We're in great company. Our fellow finalists are AB Gee, Baby Brands Direct, Babybase Wholesale, Bébélephant, BTL Diffusion, Cheeky Rascals, DKB Toys & Distribution, Kayes of Cardiff and Murrays Health & Beauty. Congratulations to all of them. You can see the full category announcement on PreschoolNews.net.
