If you're looking for a jerkin knitting pattern for a teenager to wear with her new spring outfit (21 March 1946) or a recipe for surprise cheesy fudge (5 April 1984), you're going to be disappointed. But if it's the 'best advice possible by people who are experts' that you desire, then Nursery World is the destination of choice for childcarers as much today as it was when this statement was first printed in our launch issue 85 years ago.
Nursery World was born out of the realisation that the 'foundations both of health and of character are laid in the very beginnings of life, and that grown men and women are what they are largely in consequence of the way they were handled in babyhood' (2 December 1925). The immense importance of the early years remains at the heart of everything that we publish. Also held aloft is what was proclaimed in that very first edition as 'the greatest profession in the world - the profession of the Nursery'.
