For those who are concerned with the expansion and development of the private nursery groups, some now of considerable size, there is the latest edition of our very popular Nursery Chains supplement. There's been lots of movement and growth in the sector since the summer issue, while the Government's latest initiatives are leading to some strategic head-scratching among the leading players. Read all about it in Nursery Chains.
In our eight-page 'All About...' guide this week, we're really pleased to have as its author a leading expert on personal, social and emotional development, Marion Dowling, who is also president of Early Education. She tackles how to promote children's resilience as an essential aspect of their development.
And the latest in our series of unbeatable reader offers gives the hard-working heroes of the early years sector a chance to win a health spa break to really pamper themselves. The prize has been donated by Lemsip to mark Cold and Flu Week next week and should help to ward off those winter blues. You can nominate a friend or colleague, or enter the competition yourself.
