Nursery manager Leanne Miller brims with enthusiasm as she explains the children's council she has set up at Positive Steps Nursery in Guildford, Surrey. The council has been running since January this year and children, parents and practitioners are all extremely pleased with the results so far.
The purpose of the council is to give the children an arena within which they can voice their ideas and opinions about the provision they experience every day.
