Tired of worrying about the future? Turn to Nursery World's 85th Anniversary Special published with this week's magazine and enjoy a fascinating trip back through the history of childcare and early years education.
There's plenty of amusement to be found in those extracts from issues gone by, but also much that is thought-provoking. Debates about learning through play, the inadvisability of formal learning too soon, the role of men in childcare, and the need for greater status and pay for the early years workforce have been around as long as Nursery World has. It is also possible to see just how much progress has been made in providing early years services and in the increasing professionalisation of practitioners.
