I am a BA Honours Childhood Studies student currently researching racism among pre-school children for my dissertation at Leeds Metropolitan University. I need some information from pre-school practitioners on whether they have witnessed racism in the nursery, and, if so, how they dealt with the situation, and also some information on their teaching approach towards race and racism. If you would like to help me by filling in a questionnaire, please e-mail me at jostirling@yahoo.co.uk. Jo Stirling

Sun protection

Parasols and hoods can be difficult to adjust to the correct angle when you're trying to protect a child from becoming sunburnt while out with the buggy, but the Outlook Shade-A-Babe is specially designed to provide maximum protection while allowing the baby to see out properly and the buggy to be properly ventilated. Outlook Shade-A-Babe was designed by two parents in New Zealand and it can be used in different positions, depending on the age of the child and the degree of sun protection that is needed. The mesh design reduces glare and also functions as a windshield and insect net. The optional UPF50+ sun visor provides a 99 per cent UV block for the upper body and can be used with or without the lower mesh. The shade fits all single prams and buggies and there is a twin version to fit side-by-side buggies. The single version is priced 30; the twin is priced 35 from Cheeky Rascals.
