Autumn is the best time for getting any work done on the playground, with the children outside less often but the weather still good enough to allow you to make any additions to the equipment you have. The new Adventure Tower from Hout-Land has a 'square cut' timber play house at its core that includes a bench seat and steering wheel, plus a ladder, climbing wall, rope ladder, climbing net, polymer slide and fireman's pole. The tower is made from smooth, sanded spruce timber, with ground anchors and thick beams and supports to provide stability. Measurements are 3 x 5.3m wide and the modular design means that a whole range of additions, such as swings or a sandbox, can be purchased separately from the range and added on as and when you wish. The Adventure Tower is priced 1,095 and comes with a ten-year guarantee against structural failure caused by wood rot or insect infestation. The sandbox is priced 89 and a maxi swing is priced 149.

Organisations representing playwork and early years in Gloucestershire are working together to benefit out-of-school clubs. 'In the past few months we have been busy exploring ways of developing the service we offer our members,' explained Becky Hopkins, management committee representative from the Gloucestershire Association of Playwork. 'Discussions with Gloucestershire Playgroup and Toddler Association (PATA) have led to a new initiative called GAP and PATA - Working Together.' Both groups are keen supporters of Gloucestershire's Early Years Childcare and Development Partnership.

By Anne Longfield, chief executive of Kids' Clubs Network The development of out-of-school clubs is undoubtedly one of this Government's success stories to date - the rate of growth since 1997 has been so fast we are predicting a fourfold increase in the number of clubs by 2004 - yet there is still much to be achieved for school-age childcare, in particular a further increase of new places and more help to sustain clubs in areas of disadvantage.
