Any premium #ArtificialIntelligence tool can now 'learn' any qualification now - put in a unit number and out will pop a model answer. So why aren't these quals changing? @ofqual @NCFE @SamiaKazi @EYAlliance see my story for @NurseryWorld https://t.co/bQ8xIx6Ro1

Hannah Crown reports back from a day spent at the 2025 Barnes Children’s Literature Festival with her four-year-old son and explains why she is now inspired to ‘tear up the story time rule book at home’. https://t.co/XCMAwCLK1D

My son and I had fab day of #storytelling @kidslitfest using nursery rhyme rap from @MrMCGrammar #clay from @aardman and sensory storytelling from https://t.co/QQjxnmRI6f https://t.co/bd20iKe7ZQ @NurseryWorld

@SerenataFlowers I ordered these https://t.co/7CxPj3syU9 flowers from your website and got these - not exactly teeming with purple iris or even daisies - they're just missing! Very disappointing to have half the order omitted resulting in this limp offering

I'm looking for #nurseries that are doing strong work building staff teams. Could be setting aims and objectives, communication, individual strengths and weaknesses and incorporating #research. For a piece in @NurseryWorld Please get in touch [email protected]

Research found switching off internet on smartphone for a few weeks was as effective as antidepressant medication. Well worth a read .

Playtime is not a reward, it’s a right. Children’s to play is enshrined in UN Article 31.

All the research points to free play being good for children, and less physical activity being bad for them.

So why are schools still reducing breaktimes and using removal as punishment?

Why don't parents have access to quality childcare all year around, regardless of whether their children have #SEND? is it because we still de facto expect women to compromise, be flexible, even give up work as these women have been told to do? https://t.co/u7GnAkSj1Z

[National Union of Childminders @NUCchildminders]

@oeogovuk @AnnelieseDodds @FTSEWomenLeader @NiaGriffithMP Have you any thoughts on the majority male Ofsted board, given they preside over a majority female workforce and independent reports have found @Ofstednews to have a 'macho culture', and dishonesty and bullying by inspectors?

After break of a couple of years to focus on delivering a couple of fabulous @wildinart trails, I'm delighted to be back at the newly rebadged @NurseryWorld Show - Big Day Out. I'm chairing this panel which promises to be lively and thought provoking - hope to see you there.

We don't often cross paths with James Bond at @NurseryWorld, but (rather thrillingly) https://t.co/03tM1XMrES pointed us to an unofficial #007 story in our archives from 3 September 1959. If anyone happens to have a paper copy of that issue they are looking for it! #nwarchives

[David Wright @Mr_PaintPots]

Looking forward to participating in this panel discussion

One thinks of #nurseries existing because mothers wanted to work, but this 1943 kindergarten-trained mother sought them to elevate women's status and have quality time with her children (referenced in article below) @NurseryWorld
