The awards, in their tenth year, recognise students who have performed brilliantly on their childcare course and who show the greatest potential to be an outstanding childcare practitioner.
Last year's winner was Abbey Wood from Ryton Comprehensive School, Tyne and Wear. She had been studying for the CACHE Diploma in Childcare and Education.
Winning the award helped Abbey continue to pursue her career goal to be a teacher, and confirmed her ability to be a valuable practitioner.
She said, 'It felt great to have won. I am so passionate about what I do and never underestimate the influence I can have on a child's learning.'
