Fire safety campaign

    News
  • Wednesday, September 4, 2002
    • | Nursery World
A Government fire safety campaign 'Know your plan. Get out alive' to be launched later this month aims to ensure children and adults know how to get out safely from burning homes. Fire safety minister Chris Leslie said, 'Every household should establish a fire safety plan, which should include identifying all practical escape routes, so that if a fire does break out everyone will know what to do quickly and safely.' Fire safety tips include keeping doors closed at night and remembering that smoke rises, so the cleanest air will be near the floor. More than 400 people are killed annually in house fires and 12,500 are injured. The campaign will run on television from 18 September to 20 October.

Who expects children to be perfect?

    News

With all the articles in Nursery World about appropriate practices in nurseries, why are some nurseries still dictating to staff how perfect their classrooms should look? For example, I was interviewed at one nursery who insisted that children's work should be displayed only if it looked perfect. A staff member told me in confidence that she would spend hours choosing art projects that looked neat. In some cases she would even do the project herself. As I looked around, I did not notice any eye-level pictures of the children's work, nor pictures that the children could look at while in the home corner, or other areas of the room.

The number of pupils in pre-school centres expected to fall

    News
  • Wednesday, September 4, 2002
    • | Nursery World
The number of pupils in pre-school centres is expected to fall by 11 per cent over the next ten years, according to Scottish Executive projected figures. The executive calculates there are presently 105,600 children in pre-schools, an increase of 19 per cent from September 1999. However, it expects this will gradually decrease to around 94,000 by 2012. The fall in projected numbers is principally due to very low birth rates over the past few years. The report, Pupil and Teacher Projections for Scotland 2002, is available on www.scotland.gov.uk.

It is now unlawful for schools to discriminate against any current or prospective disabled pupils, under new laws that came into force this week. From 2 September, under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001, which amends part IV of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, parents in England will have means of redress through new special educational needs (SEN) and disability tribunals, and through admissions and exclusions appeal panels.

Autumn start for school childcare

    News

Schools will be able to provide childcare for the first time this autumn - a development that the out-of-school charity Kids' Clubs Network (KCN) hopes will revolutionise provision for older children. At present, there are only enough places for 6 per cent of school-age children. However, KCN believes the Education Act, which gave schools new powers to provide childcare from 2 September, will pave the way for a significant expansion.
