Nursery World - Nursery World North Review: Show stoppers

New resources were launched and the revised Early Years Foundation Stage was previewed at our exciting exhibition in Manchester. Ruth Thomson reports on the action.

Nearly 1,000 visitors flocked to the Nursery World North show in Manchester on 7 and 8 October to tour the stands and attend some sell-out seminars.

Exhibitors at the EventCity venue showcasing their resources, equipment and services ranged from Rosy Apple Childcare Training and TTS, with its expanded Rainbow Range, to Early Years from The Consortium and Fawns Recreational Service, exhibiting its new Woodland Explorer Range.

Products launched at the show included the latest version of the StoryPhones software from Ameeca, Action Kids' new short story books, with accompanying music CDs, and Community Playthings' nursery gym. The gym features a variety of slides, stairs, towers, tunnels and textured surfaces, which can be reconfigured to create new 'playscapes' for very young children to climb, crawl and slide upon.
