Editor's View - The nursery landscape is constantly changing

Much of the early years sector's attention over the past few months has understandably been focused on the revised Early Years Foundation Stage and new Ofsted inspection framework, now both in place.

In this issue, we have the third article in our Norland series on working with under-threes, looking at the Prime area of Communication and Language, as well as a Parent's Guide on the same subject.

And in our next issue, we begin a new series on preparing for inspection, by Laura Henry.

These are not the only events that are changing the nursery landscape, however.
