We've got a bumper package this week to tide you over the Easter break. Spring is definitely in the air, and the children you work with will love to sow the free monster sunflower seeds that we're giving away with this issue and then watch them grow. Our project outline also has a seasonal feel, taking the theme of ducks - why not go on an excursion to feed some in your local park? If you're in a holiday mood, turn to Professional Nanny and have a go at our crossword for a sensational prize - you could win a week's break in the Algarve.

Nursery World is packed with essential information as always, including the latest in our child behaviour series looking at boys (pages 12-13). Look out, too, for our upcoming eight-page pull-out on gender in the 2 May issue. This is an area of practice that will need lots of thought and debate in the next few years.
Finally, if you're a childcare or early years education student, make sure you enter our essay competition to be published in Nursery World on 11 April. You could win 1,000 and have your essay printed in the magazine!
