Hordes of eager early years practitioners and primary teachers swarmed into London's Business Design Centre for the latest Under 12s Exhibition on 5 to 7 October sponsored by Nursery World and TES Primary. They were greeted by colourful Groove and Iver from the 'Hoobs' and 200 stands laden with a huge range of resources, equipment and services.
