Many visitors were keen to snap up new equipment for their early years settings, and some exhibitors sold everything on their stands before the end of the show. Associations and charities found a huge demand for information and advice.
Many of the seminars were completely sold out, with pracitioners greatly enjoying presentations from leading experts, including Jennie Lindon on working with under-threes, Maria Robinson on child behaviour and Ann Langston on child-centred learning.
The live theatre stage featured engaging displays throughout the two days, with yoga, dance, cookery and Montessori practice all on the programme. The creche entertained small visitors while parents and carers toured the stands, and the Blue Cross Dalmatian dog drew many admiring glances.
Many thanks to all our visitors, exhibitors, seminar leaders and sponsors, especially headline sponsor the Children's Workforce Development Council, for their contribution to making the show such a great event. We're looking forward to Nursery World Show 2010 already!
