We were delighted with the response to our children's art competition, run with the Daycare Trust to celebrate National Childcare Month. The entries flooded in, threatening to take over the entire Nursery World office, and you can see the winning pictures on pages 14-15. Children were asked to draw or paint their carers and write a caption about why they liked them. Much creative talent and effort went into the artwork, but it is perhaps the children's words that we should take most to heart when considering what quality care should offer.
