Every school in Wales will be sent a competition pack. Ideas must be submitted no later than 14 December and the winner will be announced in February.

Nannies who have become mothers can lend a special expertise to other families, as Helen Kewley discovers Many of the nannies I recruited in the early days of my agency now have lots of experience - and their own children. Like most mothers who want to have a balanced lifestyle that will allow them to earn an income and spend time with thier own families, they are looking for part-time work. While they insist that becoming a mother has made them more aware of the feelings of parents and thus better childcare practitioners, they often find that employers do not always recognise this. In fact, it is getting harder to place nannies who want to bring their own children to work.

Child psychologist Jennie Lindon answers your letters about child behaviour QIn our nursery we have a rabbit and a hamster, and we take time to help the children learn how to treat them gently. A four-year-old girl, who has been with us for a couple of months, seems to find it very hard to be kind to the animals. She chases them round the garden, pulls their fur and once actually hit the rabbit. We have talked with her father, who says his daughter is too young to understand. We feel the little girl is getting better, but still cannot be trusted completely. In the holidays, the animals go home with one of the nursery families. This family has asked to take the rabbit next half-term.

In the first of a two-part series, Maureen Smith says today's mature students can look forward to plenty of help and moral support A look at the DfES Childcare Workforce Surveys 2001 quickly dispels the notion that childcarers are poorly qualified and very young. The picture that emerges is one of a mature workforce studying hard to upgrade their qualifications. One-third of nursery staff are aged 24 to 39 with another fifth aged 40 or over, while a quarter of nursery managers, one-third of supervisors and two-thirds of other nursery staff are currently studying to improve their qualifications. Mature students, part-time and full-time, come from a wide variety of backgrounds, undertake a broad range of qualifications and return to studying as a route back into work or to enhance their employment prospects.

Discover the forces of nature that push and pull objects or make them fall to the ground in part two of our project by Jane Drake A thematic approach to planning should link directly to what children already know and understand, and to their current learning interests. A project such as forces may be used to motivate children and stimulate their learning, but it can only engage them when the planned activities are appropriate to their experience. Ideas can also be taken from project plans throughout the year to support children's personal interests and to enrich predictable interests and experiences for a group.
