Although it seems daunting at first to have to keep yet more evidence and even more records, planning a simple and elegant system in advance helps a great deal in the long run. The first information that Kate Greenaway needed was evidence about the effectiveness of what it was already doing. In September 2003, when I took up my post, the nursery had just emerged from a difficult period. Through meeting with other colleagues, I have learned that nursery schools can be very vulnerable. Difficulties in recruiting a headteacher, falling birthrates, and the lack of understanding that many local authorities show towards nursery education can all put a nursery school in a shaky position.

Further to the news story about the amount of compensation for Lisa Potts (8 February), not only is it a disgrace that she received such a pathetic amount of money as compensation for her horrific injuries, but it is an even bigger disgrace that she was earning a salary of 8,500 before the attack. You could earn more money than that cleaning offices. I know from more than 20 years as a nursery nurse that it has to be a vocation rather than a job. Why else would you do it with such poor monetary rewards? But how can we carry on treating childcarers in this manner? Is it any wonder there is now a huge shortfall in the profession?
