Relying on synthetic phonics flies in the face of young children's needs and real lives, argues Janet Moyles, professor emeritus and early years consultant This response to the Rose Interim Report is based on the fact that I am a trained early years teacher, former headteacher, former university senior lecturer in early childhood education and a professor of early childhood education and research. I start at this point in the hope that you will appreciate that my comments are made from a position of extensive knowledge and experience.

Drop-in centres for advice and information and affordable, accessible leisure facilities for all children were the two key requests when Children in Scotland asked, 'What do we want to ask the Parliament to do for children, young people and their families during the next term of the Scottish Parliament?' More than 1,000 children and young people from across Scotland replied to the questionnaire about the issues most pressing to them. The five key topics addressed were schools, leisure, crime and safety, families and health. Launching Children in Scotland's manifesto for the next Scottish parliamentary elections, chief executive Bronwen Cohen said, 'Improving provision for children and young people should not just be an abstract aspiration for politicians, but should translate into the kind of services children and young people themselves want to see on the ground.'

We must value the workforce

Workforce development is, quite rightly, identified as a key element of reform in the Children Act and Childcare Bill. Bold choices must be made if the long-term aspiration of a valued and high-status workforce for children is to be achieved. Increasing access to the workforce by simplifying qualification requirements and relaxing regulation for those working with school-age children is one option. However, evidence shows that while this may bring some short-term recruitment gains, in the long term it could lower standards and limit opportunities for children and parents alike. As the Government considers the Childcare Bill and local authorities draw up their children's workforce strategies, maintaining quality is crucial.

We've all been amazed at the breadth of learning gained from setting up a hospital corner in the nursery. It all started when one of our children was admitted to hospital for a short operation. When he returned to nursery he was happy to share his experiences with the other children. They were so interested that the staff set up a basic hospital corner with a bed, some role play outfits and a doctor's bag.

Pad it out

Parents really value being kept in touch with what their child has done during the day, but there's often little time to go into detail or you don't get to see them collect their child. Praisepadz, the latest addition to a range of stickers, stamps and certificates from Primary Teaching Services, may help to bridge this gap. You can choose from 14 different pads which are headed 'A Note Home... to tell you that' and go on to explain that the child (you fill in the name) has 'received first aid today', 'has made a tremendous effort today', 'has written a super story today' and so on. Obviously, the child will also appreciate having something positive to give his parent at the end of his school day and it could be something to work towards as well. In case you're wondering, there are no negative messages in the range; you still have to use your own black edged paper for those! Each pad measures 105 x 148.5mm and contains 50 slips. Priced 3 per pad or four for Pounds 10. Telephone 0800 783 2468 www.primaryteaching.co.uk

In brief...The Protection of Children Bill

The Protection of Children Bill is on course to be introduced into the Scottish Parliament early next year. The Bill means that people placed on the Index of Unsuitable Adults will be committing a criminal offence if they work with children or apply to work with them. It will be compulsory for state-regulated organisations, such as nursery schools and after-school-clubs, to check the index when they employ someone to work with children. Employers will also be under a duty to notify the Scottish Executive of people they think should be considered for inclusion, for example if they dismiss someone in circumstances suggesting they might pose a risk to children.
