It is with great interest that I read the many comments from childcare providers on Nursery World's letters page with regard to the Government's childcare voucher scheme. As providers of such a scheme, we fully appreciate the problems it must cause nurseries in dealing with a multitude of childcare voucher providers. As well as ensuring that the nurseries are paid electronically on the same day of every month, and with each payment being individually referenced to the child concerned, we also provide a system whereby if the nursery chooses us as their 'preferred childcare provider' and is willing to use our promotional literature with their parents, we will give them a cut of our fee.

Local authorities should use 'the expertise and experience of effective providers' when planning the expansion of extended services in schools and children's centres, Ofsted recommends. Its survey of 20 settings, including seven children's centres, eight primary schools four secondary schools and one special school, found most made 'intelligent use' of local networks of statutory and voluntary services when setting up extended services. However, in a 'small minority', there was no 'common, shared vision' for the extended school agreed by teachers, managers and governors, or in collaboration with the wider community.

HAL, an advanced thinking computer from Arthur C Clarke's novel 2001, made disastrous choices when given conflicting information. In 1950, Alan Turing invented the Turing test, which has been the ultimate test for whether a computer can really think or not: can a human have a chat using text with a human and a computer, and be able to distinguish between the two? So far, no computer has passed the Turing test, and there are no advanced thinking machines like HAL. Until then, can non-thinking technology develop thinking skills in children? I believe so.
