A debate held on the Saturday evening showed the true colours of National Childminding Association members attending the AGM in Torquay.

A new book about information and communication technology (ICT) and early years has been described as a 'must-read' for all nursery practitioners. More than Computers: Information and Communication Technology in the Early Years was launched at the Early Learning in the Knowledge Society IBM European Conference held in Brussels last week. The book, by John and Iram Siraj-Blatchford, points out that ICT should be integrated with all forms of learning and should also involve a high level of creativity. 'These messages need to be understood not just at pre-school level but by all practitioners in the primary and secondary sector, and parents too,' said Jim Ayres, conference facilitator. 'This computer publication is very useful. I would be happy to recommend it.' More than Computers costs 3. Further details can be obtained from publications@early-education.org.uk or on 020 7539 5400.

Your immediate environment has a wealth of opportunities for learning from direct experience. Sue Sheppy takes a closer look The children in your setting will be familiar with many of the buildings and scenes in their local environment, but will often be hurried through the streets on their way to nursery or the shops by busy parents and carers. They may see all sorts of places: the park, the library, the shops, health and leisure centres, the mosque, church or temple, the fire and police station, fields, schools, cinemas, farms or factories, but perhaps through a car window. A project about 'My neighbourhood' provides an opportunity for children to explore their local environment: to see the buildings in a new way, to have time to ask questions about things that have puzzled them, to find out who works in these buildings, who cleans them and who mends the swings and plants the flowers in the park.

Hi-tech Christmas 'stifles imagination'

Parents who splash out on expensive hi-tech Christmas gifts such as DVD players for pre-school children are stifling their imagination and creativity, a children's charity has warned. NCH Cymru said that the average child under four spent nearly five hours a day watching television and videos or playing computer games. Spokesman Patrick Legge said parents might think they were being generous, but in fact they were losing sight of what young children needed and enjoyed, such as painting sets, play costumes and traditional games and toys. These were much better at encouraging active play than screen-based entertainment.

The internet has led to a massive market in child abuse that the authorities are struggling to stem, while few child victims are able to be helped. Simon Vevers reports The internet has transformed our lives. Adults - and children - have previously unimagined access to knowledge, culture and conversation with people all over the world. Yet the online revolution has a darker side. It has given paedophiles a window to groom potential victims and a forum to market child abuse images, on an ever-increasing scale and of ever younger children.
