I am writing in praise of Training Today (18/25 December) and to say how useful it is to me, the staff at Nanny Search and our many visitors. In addition to our placement service we have a resource library and drop-in centre for nannies and other early years practitioners. Now, when visitors come in to research training options, we give them Training Today as a starting point. Once they have pinpointed their course or options we can then provide the relevant brochures instead of having to wade through a huge number of leaflets and other promotional material.

By Nigel Williams, Northern Ireland commissioner for children There is increasing evidence that it is nursery schools who are facing some of the most difficult problems in coping with challenging behaviour from children aged three and four. Certainly by primary school, many teachers can predict those children who are most likely to get into trouble as they grow older. It is essential that we focus resources on identifying and helping young people at risk before they get into trouble.

How strikers have alienated parents

The problem of special needs children being involved in the nursery nurses' strike in Scotland is one that Unison seems to prefer to ignore. The fact is that in some areas, including Edinburgh, nursery nurses are employed as support staff in special schools - not nurseries. This means that children and young people aged five to 18 are being deprived of their statutory full-time education, not nursery education.

Special awards highlighted the presentation of diplomas to Norland College graduates on 12 March. Jenni Bown and Natasha Dorrington were presented with the Isabel Sharman Award, in memory of the first principal of the college, by the guest speaker Franciska Bayliss, chairman of the National Froebel Foundation and the International Froebel Society (left). This year a new award was introduced in memory of Sandra Soar, a Norland NNEB and nanny who died in a car accident last summer, age 27. It was donated by her employers Mr and Mrs Hazell and presented by Sandra's mother to Erica Roberts, who was chosen as the student who best displayed the qualities that marked Sandra's work. In all, 30 students of the prestigious college were awarded their diplomas at a ceremony at the Assembly Rooms in Bath, wearing not cap and gown but the distinctive dress, hat and gloves that identify a Norlander for life.

So when I spotted a rug at a car boot sale one day, I thought it would be a good item to add our basket of outdoor play materials.

The Government claims to be serious about reducing teacher workloads in England. But, as a co-signatory to the deal agreed in January between all the unions except the National Union of Teachers, it should be aware that the plan to employ teaching assistants in an enhanced role will fail if sufficient funding is not provided to cover the cost of implementing a proper career structure, with a salary commensurate with the greater level of responsibilities this will incur. Teaching assistants are professionals and should be seen as such. A survey by the Professional Association of Nursery Nurses has revealed that a large majority of teaching assistants already have qualifications in early years care and education at Level 3 - which is a far cry from the ignorant and insulting comments by some union chiefs and others who have referred to us as a 'mums' army'.
