* Sandy Bell brings nursing and childcare experience to her role as North West Lancashire Childcare Co-ordinator, covering approximately 19,000 NHS staff in Blackpool, Preston and Chorley. She worked as an auxiliary nurse for 22 years and ran a holiday playscheme for eight years after seeing staff struggling to organise childcare. 'Fingers crossed, so far we've been able to solve all the childcare problems that staff have come with,' she says. 'Most parents are wanting out-of-school care for their children, including before and after school and holiday schemes. It seems they have more childcare problems once their children go to school because of NHS shift patterns.'

The ouch in vouchers

In response to 'Vouchers bring growth hopes for companies' (News, 22 September), I would like to draw Nursery World readers' attention to the problems we face with the sheer scale of this scheme. Nursery managers, who are already deluged with paperwork from every direction, now have the added problem of tracing the childcare voucher payments. These come in a variety of methods. For example, several families are now paying with two different voucher schemes and then make a balance payment with cash or cheque. The vouchers may have to be posted or redeemed over the telephone, unnecessarily taking up further time. Then each payment has to be traced through the banking systems to check that the money has been placed in the correct account.
