Get the dictionary out, fellow early years and childcare practitioners, Beatrix Campbell is writing her next diatribe! Over the past year I guess I may have got the point of perhaps half a dozen of Beatrix Campbell's columns, though I think Ihave got the gist of most of the rest.

Over the past year I guess I may have got the point of perhaps half a dozen of Beatrix Campbell's columns, though I think Ihave got the gist of most of the rest.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads her column through several times, trying to understand what a 'cathartic national conversation' and 'the importance of testimony as a vector' mean ('To the point', 10 November).

Don't get me wrong, though - I love her zest for what she believes is right and for the way she tweaks my brain cells. Bring it on, Beatrix!

Marion Elliott, registered childminder, Chobham, Surrey New head please I am horrified at the plans this Government has for nursery education. Can we not get back to letting young children learn through play and can we please stop testing them? A good farmer feeds her pigs; she does not spend all her time weighing them.
