As long as you've got your health

Editor’s View
Once a year, Nursery World devotes an issue to a particular subject
of topical interest - the revised Early Years Foundation Stage,
two-year-olds, and for 2014 health and well-being.

There is a really strong focus on all aspects of the health and well-being of young children at the moment., and our special edition takes an in-depth look at many of the main challenges.

New guidelines for food in early years settings have highlighted the need for practitioners to know about young children's nutritional needs. The Progress Check at Two will be integrated with the Health Check next year. And the Children and Families Act has given rise to new ways of supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities.

Our experts look at childhood obesity, dental health, immunisation, physical development and supporting a child with complex medical needs. A GP wirtes a letter to parents outlining the top ten health conditions that they need to know about, and we give a comprehensive list of training courses.
