At the end of last year, childcare consultant Laura Henry's series for Nursery World on the new Ofsted daycare inspection regime, based on the five outcomes of Every Child Matters, went down a storm. We received numerous calls from managers and practitioners anxious to get hold of any parts of the series that they'd missed, and we ended up reprinting the five articles as a handy booklet, available through our website bookshop (www.nurseryworld.co.uk). Now Laura is back with an unmissable new series on policies and procedures for daycare settings, which will build into a complete reference on which policies you need, what should be in them, and how they link to all the relevant legislation (see pages 20-21). Make sure you don't miss a single article by reserving your copy of Nursery World at your newsagent every week or by taking out a subscription.

Another series starts this week along with the new school year - a regular look at the plans and progress of local authorities around the country in integrated services, including children's centres, extended schools and childcare provision. We start with Bradford on pages 12-13.
Next week, we'll announce the shortlist for the Nursery World Nursery of the Year 2006 Awards, sponsored by Morton Michel. Many thanks to all who entered.
