In this issue of Nursery Management we bring you up to date with progress on the ten-year childcare strategy and provide essential information to help you prepare for the next wave of change, including the introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage. To succeed, the new framework will need a better trained workforce to deliver it. For too long, quantity of places has taken priority over quality of provision. Too often, courses have been found lacking and funding has been in short supply. And there is little sign that real progress is being made.

Starting a new job can be extremely stressful, but your employer should have an effective induction programme in place to address your anxieties about understanding new procedures, getting to know colleagues and taking on any new responsibilities. The length and format of your induction process will depend on the complexity of your new job and your background, so newcomers to the sector and senior managers, for example, can expect to undergo a more detailed induction process.
