WINNER – Cheeky Cherubs Childcare, Leicestershire

You can download the awards book here

Cheeky Cherubs is a small rural farm-based childminding setting which provides endless opportunities for outdoor learning.

Debra Meakin leads the team along with three assistants, who are all Level 3 childcare qualified and above. They engage the children in endless adventures, from climbing their mountain to sliding down it and caring for the farm’s ducks, filling bird feeders and planting pumpkins, peas and sweetcorn in their allotment.

One parent comments, ‘Cheeky Cherubs is like a second home to our two children. The focus on outdoor farm-based learning is fantastic, helping the children to learn about animals, growing food and their favourite vehicles – tractors!’
