Our annual nanny salary survey, published in Professional Nanny with this week's Nursery World, always causes a stir, and the latest research paints a very different picture from the boom in wages of the past few years. The economic slowdown that has led to redundancies in areas such as financial services and IT, plus the Government's refusal to give tax breaks to parents employing nannies, has meant job losses for some nannies as parents turn to other, more affordable options. Stephen Vahrman of Nannytax analyses the facts and figures. It now looks as though parents employing nannies may be able to claim childcare tax credit from April if their nanny registers as a childminder (see News, page 4). This raises many as yet unanswered questions, such as whether the parents' home will have to be inspected.

Multilingual service launched

A multilingual service has been launched by the Daycare Trust to make it easier for non-English speaking parents to gain access to information on childcare. The Language Line, which covers more than 100 languages, will provide three-way communication over the phone with callers connected to an interpreter via the operator. The Trust said research has shown that language problems and lack of information on childcare are barriers to work and study for parents. Stephen Burke, Daycare Trust director, said, 'Better childcare services for minority ethnic families will help build a thriving multi-ethnic Britain where everyone has a better chance in life.' The helpline is on 020 7840 3350, Monday to Friday, from 10am to 5pm.

The Scottish Executive has commissioned Professor Colwyn Trevarthen, professor of child psychology at the University of Edinburgh, to lead a team of academics carrying out a review into what makes a quality care and learning experience for children aged under three. The study was due to be completed by the end of January and Professor Trevarthen's team will be exchanging information with a team at Manchester Metropolitan University, who have been commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills to investigate good practice with under-threes. This study is one of several discussed in Early Years' Matters, the new newsletter from Learning and Teaching Scotland, which is available online at http://www.ltscotland. com/earlyyears/eymatters/ and aims to keep practitioners informed about the most recent early years developments in Scotland.

Mistrust of men

I am a male nursery nurse and I was disgusted by Stephen Taw's comments in his letter ('Limits on men', 20 February). Equal opportunities means exactly that - to provide equal opportunity to all. If a man cannot perform the same duties as a woman, what message will that send out to adults, let alone to children? It is a sad fact that some men abuse children, but I understand that in around 5 to 10 per cent of cases the child abuse is by a woman.

Mr O'Kane said many of his colleagues had 'serious reservations about discussion of possible mergers' - but added that they had shown 'their innate democratic instinct in agreeing to allow this important issue to go forward for debate among the members.'
