By Tessa Drury, honorary secretary of the Playgroup Network Friday 18 July was the closing date for the Sure Start consultation looking at improving the regulation of childcare in England. We wonder how many Nursery World readers saw this document, as it does not appear to have been widely circulated even though it covers such important and controversial issues as banning corporal punishment by childminders and no longer allowing them to smoke in the presence of minded children - changes so many of us have wanted to see for a long time.
