The early years and childcare sector is changing at an incredible pace, as anyone involved in this area will be aware. The plethora of Government initiatives, policies and reviews means that it is crucial for all practitioners to keep informed about what is happening. With the internet playing an increasingly large part in all our lives, the problem is not so much the availability of information, but knowing where to go for the right information. If you're feeling bewildered amid a sea of information sources, turn to this week's eight-page pull-out 'All about...early years information', written by the National Children's Bureau. The NCB has carried out a survey of how early years practitioners access information and what was most useful to them. Our guide has practical suggestions for finding your way to what you need. Interestingly, despite all the electronic sources available, early years practitioners still prefer paper-based materials, the NCB survey found, with Nursery World cited frequently as a favourite option!
