Should children wear uniform?

Some nurseries offer a uniform to their children but in most cases there is no obligation to wear it. Most people feel that uniform should not be compulsory for very young children. Kathy Nazer is the area manager for Just Learning, a nursery chain which offers children the option of wearing a uniform which consists of a polo shirt, sweatshirt and summer cap, all with the Just Learning logo embroidered on them.

If our child safety quiz on page 6 shows that you're dangerously clueless in such matters, you could ask your employer to send you on a first aid course tailor-made for nannies and au pairs. Safe and Sound is a training service set up a year ago by two London mothers, Roma Felstein and Tina Lazarus, after they realised that vast numbers of children were looked after by au pairs who didn't like to admit they didn't know what to do in an emergency. They offer a basic first aid, a lifesaver or an au pair's course, all taught by trained medical staff, and you can book into a scheduled course or arrange one yourself for a group. Reading a first aid book is never enough, says Roma - 'You can never replace the practical. When panic sets in and you switch to autopilot, you'll know what to do if you've actually practised it.' Fees range from 40 to 65, and Roma says that nearly all the nannies who've done the courses have their fees paid by their employers - but she's amazed how many parents are reluctant. 'I find it mind-blowing that people would even question paying that money, where their child's life is concerned, when they'd pay it for a sweater or a pair of jeans,' she says. At any rate, doing a course will earn you a certificate valid for three years. Contact Safe and Sound on 0208 348 1797, e-mail info@safe-and-sound.org.uk.

So you think you're ready for any emergency? Test yourself with this quiz by Sue Hubberstey and Jan Hurst. Do you ever think about how you would react if the child you care for was involved in an accident or needed first aid?

One in six of all children in the UK need to attend a hospital Accident & Emergency department every year. If you know how to act in an emergency it can literally mean the difference between life and death. Complete our safety quiz and discover whether you can feel confident or should further your knowledge urgently.

An independent trade union has called on the next Government to ensure that no childcarers in Britain are unregistered. The Professional Association of Nursery Nurses (PANN), a division of the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT), said last week that it wants the next Government to end the exception which means nannies are the sole form of unregistered and unregulated childcare in Britain. As part of its election manifesto PANN said it wanted the next Government to set up a national register of all childcarers, which would include around 90,000 nannies as well as childminders and daycare staff.

My first day at nursery was a nervous one, but I relaxed as soon as I started interacting with the children. I went home feeling dazed and slowly began to feel I had embarked on something very special. That was almost three years ago.
