The Government's sudden scrapping of the Individual Learning Accounts in England two weeks earlier than scheduled has left childcarers' plans for training in limbo, according to a leading early years provider. Rosie Pressland, principal of the Pocklington Montessori School near York and managing director of the Internet College for Early Years Education, said many childcarers had lost the chance to do IT training after the scheme was axed on 23 November because of fraud.

The profile of nannying revealed in our annual pay survey on page 6 will be less encouraging to nannies than in recent years, but surprising to no one. It's not that the rising trend in nannies' pay was undeserved, and I think it's unfair to talk about anyone 'pricing themselves out of a job' - least of all nannies, who have no collective bargaining power, and no salary increments or career ladders that people in other occupations rely on. Most lines of work have been affected by an economic downturn in the past year.

The children at your club are the people best qualified to chose new staff playworkers. But how should you involve them in recruitment? Philip Waters has first-hand experience. Sophie turned to the last page of her interview schedule and read the final question, giggling aloud. Looking at the applicant, she asked, 'When did you last fart in public?' This is not a question one would normally expect during an interview for a playworker! But this interview is no ordinary one. Sophie (pictured above), and her fellow interviewing colleagues, Jamie, Max and Rosie, are all children, and the question above - like 20 others - was compiled by children within Poppleton School's Out Club (PopSOC) in York.

Tax cuts for childcare

Araft of new measures that will significantly extend access to tax breaks for employer-supported childcare across the UK has been proposed by the Treasury. At present, employees do not pay tax on the benefit of a place in a nursery provided by an employer, as long as the provision satisfies strict criteria. If the nursery is not on the employer's own premises, the employer must be wholly or partly responsible for both the financing and management of the nursery. This tax break has been relatively limited in its scope.

More child-friendly services in hospitals

    News

New national standards to deliver more child-friendly services in hospitals, including dedicated children's units in accident and emergency departments, were launched last week by Health Secretary Alan Milburn. They will be backed up by a 70m investment in neonatal intensive care facilities. The standards, which are part of the National Service Framework for Children, cover the design and delivery of services for children and the safety and quality of care. They will help to ensure children are cared for in hospital settings that reflect the needs of their age group. There should be facilities for children separate from those provided for adolescents, education support to ensure they do not fall behind with their schooling, children's menus, regular reviews of security and specialist training for staff. Following the Kennedy Inquiry, hospitals will also be expected to have a children's champion at board level to see that the standards are met.

Observing children engaged in their earliest drawing experiences can tell us a lot about how to support them, says Penny Tassoni Watching and listening to young children as they draw is fascinating. Not only can we hear the pleasure in the child's voice, we may also hear their purpose. It is sad, then, to see only a few years later that many of the same children no longer wish to draw. They may hide their lack of confidence behind statements such as 'I don't know how to...'
