As we say farewell to Harry's column, he has started attending pre-school, which he loves, particularly the water tray. In fact, on his first morning a member of staff commented that had there been a snorkel available he probably would have used it! Harry is developing well. He is sociable, contented, and physically very active. His speech is clear, with an extensive vocabulary, and he adjusts well to most situations. Harry is interested in all he sees, asking questions, experimenting and investigating. He likes to see inside things and help with DIY jobs around the house. He has learned a lot from his older sister, Jasmine, and mostly they play well together. He is also very caring towards baby brother Alfie, ensuring that he has toys and explaining to him what he needs to do.

The Scottish Independent Nurseries Association is to employ a childcare partnership liaison service officer to assist private and voluntary sector providers. The post, made possible by an award of nearly 35,000 from the Scottish Executive (News, 9 August), will run an advocacy service to help providers in the voluntary, private and local authority sectors with their childcare partnerships. It is hoped the new service will help providers to compare the practices of various partnerships and encourage them to take more of an active role within their partnership.
