Training continues to be at the top of the early years education and childcare agenda, with the search for suitable candidates to go forward for Early Years Professional status now under way (see News, page 4). Could you qualify to be one of the first 600 people to be awarded this new title? We're still waiting for the final prospectus and standards to enable prospective candidates to see what they will need to work on, however, so keep reading Nursery World for the latest news. Meanwhile, our Special Report this week examines the Transformation Fund and the fears in some quarters that the money will not be sufficient to make long-term improvements in the workforce (see pages 10-11).

There's certainly plenty in this issue of the magazine to help you in the quest for quality. Our ever-popular Nursery Topics supplement focuses on the theme of colour and contains everything you need to run a great early years project that starts from children's interests and their stage of development.

There are more activities in our four-page pull-out, including the second part of a project on circles and lines, plus the fifth part of our collectible series on quality in the Foundation Stage.
