A pretty dismal and confusing picture for the future of private daycare has been painted in Nursery World. An article in the 23 September issue quoted Peter Moss, professor of early childhood provision at the Thomas Coram Research Unit, saying that by 2015, 'private nurseries would have become uncommon' in the UKdue to the full establishment of children's centres, and few schools would offer nursery classes. However, another piece in the Nursery Business supplement (30 September) quotes Rosemary Murphy, National Day Nurseries Association chief executive, saying, 'Most schools in this country are going to be forced to have childcare on their sites'. Consequently she advises that nurseries close to schools should consider trying to relocate to school sites in order to stand a better chance of survival.

Letting the parents of three-and four-year-olds take their hours of free nursery education at times to suit themselves may prevent children developing consistent relationships with staff and other children, early years consultants have warned. In its five-year education plan the Government this month unveiled the concept of 'educare', integrating nursery education and childcare. It said 12 and a half hours of free 'educare' could be taken flexibly across the week for a minimum of 33 weeks a year, 'according to children's and families' needs'.

Pay in the early years sector is 'dreadful' and the number of people leaving the sector each year is 'appalling', the chair of the Select Committee on Education and Employment told representatives of early years organisations last week. Barry Sheerman made his comments during an extra meeting of the Select Committee in Portcullis House, Westminster. The committee heard that many early years workers earn around 7,000 a year. Committee member Charlotte Atkins said the low pay and status meant that nursery nurses 'do not feel valued and don't value themselves'.
