Provision
Our judging panel, made up of 18 leading figures from every part of the early years sector, met at Haymarket's offices tasked with the tough job of selecting the award winners. A big 'thank you' for all their hard work.

Thom co-leads the CWDC's £25m early years programme, delivering workforce reform and Sector Skills Council responsibilities. Prior to joining CWDC, he worked for six years at the Daycare Trust, ending as director of services. He began working in early childhood services in 1996, initially in health services management. In recognition of his work, Thom was invited to become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts last year.
