Editor's letter

Welcome to our autumn issue. As we have just enjoyed the most glorious summer, you and the children may have spent many long, sunny days out of doors. When you retreat back inside, perhaps you will begin to think about how your building can be used more efficiently in the year ahead. It could be that your baby room needs re-organising, having become a clutter of all the equipment which the youngest children need to have. If that is the case, then why not check out some super storage ideas (page 14). Or, you may have a larger project in mind; an extension which will give you extra classrooms or a separate area for housing your out-of-school club. Modular buildings are a great solution to the problem of lack of space. Find out just what the companies can offer (page 28) and read what some very satisfied customers have to say.

Elsewhere in the magazine, we look at new childcare books for both staff and parents (page 16) with a special money-saving offer for all our readers. Our resident computer software reviewer tells us which new programs were a big hit in her school (page 26). In our out-of-school section we have selected puppets which appeal to a wide age range (page 30) and offer plenty of suggestions for stimulating creativity (page 32). We have also tracked down some appropriate telescopes (page 12) and resources to make learning easier for left-handed children (page 18).
