Beautiful child trapped in crèche? Rubbish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherub

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

'beautiful child' is the definition.
'cherub' can be an answer for 'child' (cherub is a kind of child). I am not certain of the 'beautiful' bit.

'trapped in creche? rubbish' is the wordplay.
'trapped in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CHERUB' can be found hidden inside 'creche rubbish'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "little one with wings" , "Little angel" , "A chubby infant with wings" , "Sweet innocent baby" , "goody-goody?" .)
