This year's Early Years and Primary Teaching Exhibition at Manchester's G-Mex Centre was honoured as the venue chosen for the launch of the Government's consultation on the Early Years Foundation Stage on May 5, in the keynote address by children's minister Beverley Hughes (see page ??).
Seminars by top educational specialists also drew in the crowds.
