Nursery World - Editor's letter (20)

Hello and welcome to our spring edition. It has been particularly interesting researching this, our first issue of the year, as we are able to give you information about the many new products to look forward to in the months ahead. Most of us will have fond memories of hours spent playing with a doll's house or a toy fort but what a wealth of different miniature environments there is available to today's generation of young children. 'Small world play' has expanded to include magical castles, complete with knights, horses and a resident royal family, a multi-storey block of flats, even an igloo, not to mention a whole range of hospitals, fire stations and garages, all offering limitless hours of imaginative play. You can read all about these exciting developments on page 28.

Moving from the miniature to the more practical we look at ways to freshen up your baby room with some new bedding (page 14) and find some jigsaws and playtrays to occupy the under-threes (page 16).
