Nursery World - Editor's view (192)

Environment and resources are increasingly recognised as a vital component of early years provision, and there's plenty to help you make sure you're offering the best service in this week's issue of Nursery World. You'll find the latest edition of Nursery Equipment, packed with ideas and advice on choosing products that will engage children and promote their learning across Birth to Three Matters and the Foundation Stage. Lots of equipment has been tried and tested in nurseries, schools and childminders, who give an honest opinion about its worth.

As well as puppets to win in the Nursery Equipment prize draw, you can turn to page 14 of Nursery World for the chance to win some great nursery furniture from Reflections on Learning, including its new early years computer desk.

We're delighted to reveal the shortlist for our Nursery of the Year Award, sponsored by Morton Michel Insurance (see page 19). Just five nurseries have made it through from the many high-quality entries we received, and it was extremely difficult to choose. Some newer settings have maybe not been open long enough to demonstrate their qualities fully - there's always next year! The winners of the prestigious award and great Community Playthings prizes will be revealed next month.
