TWO businesses have been recognised by the city’s readers and followers of a popular social website.

The Winchester branch of Mums in the Know has celebrated the achievements of Moo Music – a special song-and-dance tutorial for tots – and the YMCA café in St John’s House.

Moo Music, which was established two years ago by local mum Ali Hider, won both the Best Class for nought to two-year-olds and Best Class for two to four-year-olds.

The café, based in The Broadway, was described by MITK readers as the “best place to eat with families” earning them the Local Star award.

MITK Winchester manager, Lindsey Holland, said: “It’s the first time we have held the awards and I was impressed by the amount of votes we received. It’s nice to be able to give recognition to some great local businesses and really shows off how brilliant Winchester is for children and families.”

Other local winners included the Marwell Adventure Barn in the Best Soft Play category and the Winchester Discovery Centre won Best After School Class for its Win at Maths sessions.
