Over the coming months, private nurseries will have to carve out a role for themselves within their local authority's plans for implementing the Government's ten-year strategy. This may be by providing wraparound care as part of an extended school, or perhaps by offering 'satellite' childcare to one of the next wave of children's centres.
If nurseries are to succeed in expanding their current role, managers and owners will have to:
* free up time to attend planning meetings
* have in place management systems to ensure their staff team can run the nursery effectively in their absence, and
* have the leadership skills to cope with the challenges of working with other professionals within these children's centres and extended schools.
