I'll always remember the three toddlers who, as the three kings in our nursery school's Nativity play, presented their gifts to baby Jesus. The first king almost ran up to the crib and shouted, 'I've brought you some gold.' The second stepped smartly forward and yelled, 'Here's some myrrh for you.' Then the third marched up boldly and bellowed, 'And Frank sent this.' Irene Hickson. Christchurch, Dorset

This week's national policy seminar held by 4Children examined the childcare gains and challenges in the five years since the report by the Childcare Commission, which set out demands for investment in and development of the early years sector (see News page 5, 'To the point' page 9). Everyone agreed that much had been achieved - but also that there was a long way to go. Children's minister Beverley Hughes's comments at the seminar provided some interesting hints about future priorities. She spoke about the need to pay particular attention to the quality of interactions between children and carers, something which rarely seems to be mentioned in Government pronouncements.
