Answer:

The child that is next to the neighbour clockwise of the child in the first position.

Explanation:

If you pass cards anti-clockwise skipping each time the neighbour, in the first round you reach the neighbour clockwise of the first child with the 11th card; the second round is finished with card nr 21 that is received by the child next to the neighbour clockwise of the first child.
