This year's Outdoor Challenge received a record number of entries. More than 350 settings entered the Nursery World competition to win 4,000 of equipment and expert advice to transform their outdoor space.
The standard of entries was high, with many entrants showing how well they understood the importance of outdoor play and detailing exciting plans to develop their outside space. The judges eventually awarded the prize to Kathy Holmes, a registered childminder and manager of Acorn Childcare in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
