Editor’s view: Celebrating our 100th birthday in 2025!

Nursery World’s centenary year is an opportunity to both look back to the sector’s past as well as what the future may hold
Karen Faux

Welcome to 2025. I am personally very excited about this year as it marks a very special one for Nursery World. The magazine was launched in December 1925, and throughout the next 12 months we will be celebrating our enormous milestone with a range of coverage designed to be thought-provoking, insightful and entertaining.

It will culminate at the end of the year with a collectable, special anniversary supplement.

Delving back into our archive provides fascinating perspectives on how prescribed views and approaches to early childhood have shifted over the decades.

It holds a mirror up to not just the lives of young children but to that of women and their status in society. There is much to inspire and fascinate – and to make us think about how much has changed in a broader sense.
