The chartered accountants Nyman Linden wishes to defend personal service companies (PSC) for nannies, after the feature on this financial set-up in last month's Professional Nanny. Marketing director Mike Phillips writes, 'Nanny Counts, our PSC scheme, is an option for nannies, not a parent demand. We only accept a nanny as a client if she is comfortable with our solution and with us. However, we do encourage our clients to split the often substantial financial benefits to create a perfect "win-win" situation for them and the parents. We encourage our clients to be seen as dedicated professional nannies carrying out a highly responsible role in sharing parental responsibilities for a future generation. In our view, this can be better achieved on an equitable level through a PSC rather than as a subordinate. 'The PSC is not necessarily for everyone. If a nanny wants the financial and other benefits, she will choose the PSC solution. If she does not want to change, that is her absolute right that no one can condemn.'

The NTOs are being replaced by a smaller number of larger Sector Skills Councils, which will also be UK-wide. A bid for one for the early years submitted by the Council for Awards in Childcare and Education (CACHE), the parent body of the Early Years NTO, was rejected last December.

First of all, cut the sides of the box down to between 12cm and 15cm in size, but remember to keep the pieces that you cut off. They'll come in useful later on. Next, let the children help you paint the box inside and out in a plain colour, such as white or grey, and leave it to dry.

It was an arresting sight when two-year-old Jack Paton took to the beat with PC Annemarie Anderson at the Drumchapel Family Learning Centre in Glasgow last week. PC Anderson caused excitement when she arrived at the family centre with a special delivery of ride-on model police cars for the children, donated by Little Tikes toys. Strathclyde Police has teamed up with the toy firm to foster good relations with young children in the Drumchapel area. The scheme is already operating in London, Manchester, Liverpool and Cardiff and has been hailed a success in helping strengthen links between bobbies on the beat and the local community.
