As an Ofsted childcare inspector I am interested in the question of registering nannies, as it would be my colleagues and myself who would have to do the job (News, 17 January). Your cartoon (Letters, 31 January) shows an official simply rubber-stamping documents. I imagine that the actual process would be more complex.

Nursery nurse members of Unison in West Yorkshire

Nursery nurse members of Unison in West Yorkshire have settled a long-running pay dispute with the local authority, which puts them among the highest-paid nursery nurses in the north of England. Members of the Kirklees branch voted to accept the council's offer on 23 June, following nine days of strikes in April and May. The new pay structure brings nursery nurses closer in line with classroom assistants, who can earn up to 15,000 a year, following an agreement with the council in November last year. Meanwhile more than 100 nursery nurse members of Unison in the London borough of Tower Hamlets have been out on strike since 13 June over the LEA's decision to change their 52-week contracts to 'term-time only'.

The pack was launched by minister for transport Nicol Stephen to coincide with Child Safety Week, which started on June 23. He said, 'Education is a key part of improving road safety. This new pack proves that children can have fun while learning its fundamental messages.'

A ban on sales of fizzy drinks and sugary snacks on all healthcare and education premises has been proposed by the British Dental Foundation, which called for the ban after NHS Tayside in the Angus, City of Dundee and Perth and Kinross areas of Scotland announced last week that it is to stop stocking unhealthy drinks in vending machines and canteens. BDF chief executive Dr Nigel Carter said, 'Sugary products taken between meals are the main cause of tooth decay, which can lead to fillings and extractions. Poor diet has been linked with gum disease, which not only threatens tooth loss, but overall health. Research is proving time and again that gum disease is linked to diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and premature and low birth-weight babies.'

The Play@home activity scheme, originally set up in 1999 by Fife Council and Fife Primary Care NHS Trust, will receive 35,000 from both the council's Children's Services Committee and the NHS Fife Board. The three-step activity programme offers parents fun ways to interact with their children and stimulate co-ordination and activity from birth to nursery age. Fife's chair of children's services, councillor Helen Law said, 'Play@home is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when agencies combine their skills to provide joined-up services tailored to meeting the needs of children.'

There's no avoiding regulations but there are ways that nurseries can ease their way through complying with them, as Mary Evans explains Business leaders gave a sceptical welcome to last month's Budget proposals to reduce the spider's web of red tape. While Chancellor Gordon Brown accepted the recommendations of two key reports on cutting regulations, the Government itself was accused of increasing the bureaucratic burdens on business by almost 39bn in the past eight years.
