Written by Nursery World regular contributor Jane Drake, the first part focuses on environment. Forthcoming guides will look at issues including organising staff, supporting children's learning, observation and assessment, transition and working with parents. The series will build up into an invaluable resource for all practitioners and managers working with three- to five-year-olds.
This week also sees the unveiling of another feature that always gets a fantastic response - the Nursery World/Nannytax annual nanny salary survey, published in Professional Nanny. Nanny pay has been on the rise again after a year when rates were static, and no doubt the national media will express outrage that a central London nanny earns an average of more than 28,000 - surely no less than she deserves! Meanwhile, the plight of the Greenwich nursery nurses earning up to 4,000 less than those in neighbouring boroughs does call for protest (see News, page 4).
