In brief...NSPCC's new safety campaign

    News

    • | Nursery World
Children taking part in social and sporting activities outside the home are the focus of a new safety campaign by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The NSPCC is calling for clubs to ensure they have child protection procedures in place. Karen Wright, divisional director of the NSPCC in Northern Ireland, said, 'Many leisure organisations are only just beginning to address their child protection roles. Some are unregulated and use lots of volunteers. They could provide easy access to abusing adults, including paedophiles.'

Quality childcare - is it all in the stars?

    News

I wonder just how the Government's proposed star ratings for childcare (News,29 March) will be measured. Will there be a league table? Will we be judged on the quality of our carpets or our cuddles, where the children in our care are on the centile charts for height or weight, perhaps even how the children perform in their development checks? Or will stars be given for the carers' academic qualifications?

Nice for some

Further to the eight-page pull-out section on outdoor play (5 April), I found parts of the section very informative and some of the ideas very useful. However, I work in a playgroup setting and can see no possible way of letting children decide when and if they play outside. Due to staffing levels, either we all play out or we all play indoors. This being the case, we cannot play out in inclement weather because it is unfair to force children to play out in the cold if they would rather not.

Daycare standards leave in loopholes

    News
  • Wednesday, May 16, 2001
    • | Nursery World
Early years organisations have criticised the Government's long-awaited national standards for under-eights daycare and childminding in England for inconsistency and missing out children in some forms of provision. Both the National Early Years Network (NEYN) and the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) welcomed the Government's attempt to do away with regional anomalies which had blighted the regulation of daycare provision. But they criticised the standards because they apply only to the private, voluntary and maintained sectors, and not to the independent schools sector.

Organising a topic on My home may appear deceptively simple but, as this issue of Nursery Topics will show, it is a project that needs a lot of planning and is a subject that has to be dealt with sensitively. Success depends on practitioners recognising the importance of the home corner (see Home corner, page 21) and reflecting on good practice (see Home visits, page 22). Above all, success depends on detailed information about what individual children understand by 'home' and 'family' (see Introduction, page 4). After all, how many of us live in a picture-book double-fronted house? And what is an 'average' family?
