Nursery World - Editor's view (221)

We hope that you will forgive us a little bit of self-congratulation this week, as Nursery World celebrates its 80th birthday. We feel very proud to remain as the market-leading title for early years professionals after all this time.We'd like to say thank you, too, to all our readers, advertisers and suppliers, some of whom have been with us for many years, some of whom have recently joined our community. With this week's issue of the magazine, you'll find a fascinating supplement called Eighty Years On, full of extracts from Nursery World through the past eight decades, and showing both how much has changed and how many issues the professionals in today's early years education and childcare sector have in common with those who were caring for young children early in the last century.

Don't forget to enter our champagne quiz, the answers to which are hidden in the text of Eighty Years On. You'll find the questions in last week's issue of Nursery World. However, while we give a nod to heritage, Nursery World is not neglecting to cover all the latest news too. There's a comprehensive look at the national evaluation of Sure Start and its controversial findings in our news section (pages 4-5), plus a report on the review of phonics for teaching reading (page 6).
