One good example of what to expect is Rosie Pressland and her amazing Pocklington Montessori School.
Her categories are Small Business of the Year, the Progress Through People Award and, unsurprisingly, Business Personality of the Year
In nine years, Rosie has taken the revolutionary nursery school from a 12-place annexe for rising five-year-olds to a 170-place school for rising eight-year-olds with 45 staff on the A1079 just out of town.
Montessori is a method which allows small children quickly to learn second languages, maths, science, history and biology.
Among her greatest - and most recent - achievements was establishing I-C-Eye - her Internet College for Early Years Education in conjunction with CACHE, the accreditation body for early years courses.
Rosie says proudly: "These are interactive courses which will now be affordable, accessible and of the highest quality."
