Britain' s mothers are under so much pressure to feed their children healthily that three-quarters admit to lying about what they give them, reported The Metro. It is common for them to exaggerate to friends, family and doctors the amount of fruit and vegetables their offspring eat, according to a British Potato Council study. Babies are being taken to therapy by their parents in an attempt to establish good mental health early in life. The Daily Express talked to London-based psychologist Dr Stella Acquarone, who offers initial consultations with both baby and parents for just 100. Prices move up steeply to 29,000 for an intensive three-week course. Dr Acquarone believes that it is important to realise how early a child's brain develops and runs a parent-infant clinic at the School of Infant Mental Health in Hampstead.

Outdoor provision is high on the early years agenda at the moment, as the huge number of entries to our Outdoor Challenge, run with Learning Through Landscapes, confirmed. As part of our work with LTL, Nursery World was a member of a specially convened group which met to discuss what the early years vision for outdoors play should be and how that should be expressed in terms of a set of values. So we're really pleased this week to provide you with a lovely Nursery World/LTL poster setting out the vision and values and including a wonderful set of images depicting the special nature of outdoor play. We hope you will all display this in your settings and incorporate the values in developing your outside provision.

Scotland's proposals to ban all physical punishment of children under three and to prevent any children from suffering blows to the head, shaking and the use of implements are a considerable step forward (see News, page 4). As anti-smacking campaigners point out, however, the proposals do not go far enough. Being eligible for physical punishment is a third birthday present that will not be welcomed nor understood by a small child. And ascertaining what constitutes a 'reasonable' smack is sure to lead to legal wrangles.

Professor Peter Moss of the University of London's Institute of Education has produced a timely report on the problems of developing the early years workforce, which he describes as a 'can of worms' (see page 4). His contention is that as women become better educated and have better job opportunities, it will become increasingly difficult to attract them into childcare, because the work is badly paid and undervalued.

You'll notice a few changes in this week's Nursery World, as we start to bring in some of the exciting new features we've got planned for 2002. Our pull-out activities section (pages 17-20) takes a fresh approach with a project running every week, tailored to meet the requirements of the Foundation Stage and other early years curricula for practitioners to respond to children's interests and allow for plenty of child-initiated activities. Snow and ice is the first theme, so that you can take advantage of the seasonal weather. The front page of the pull-out will also incorporate new elements, including this week's ICT activity for the nursery. Our new early years curriculum series gets back to basics, beginning with a look at opportunities for mathematical learning in the home corner (see pages 12-13). An accompanying column focuses on observation and assessment, with a case study to discuss.

Plans for the police to create databases of 'sensitive information' about young children whom they believe could become criminals will raise serious concerns about human rights. An adult whose name and personal details were put on a list of potential criminals would rightly be furious. What effect will this sort of action have on children from nursery age who could be under surveillance just for living in a particular area or coming from the 'wrong sort' of family? Will being under suspicion in this way actually help to improve their life chances, when so much needs to be done to tackle problems of poverty, health and education? Further, will the inclusion of a child's name lead to problems for them later in life if employers or others are able to find out that they had been on such a list?
