I believe the answer is:

cherub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'babe' is the definition.
(cherub is a kind of babe)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "Angelic baby" , "A heavenly winged babe" , "Baby angel" , "Sweet little baby" , "Angelic child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
