Fantastic to see so many of you at the Nursery World Show. There speaking on outdoor learning and what it truly takes to ensure children make the best start to school life, it was two days full of fantastic conversations and new meetings.
I do still find myself amazed at how misunderstood the concept of 'school readiness' is - hardly surprising given the constant misleading media coverage - but despite the scowls and furrowed brows its mere mention always attracts, this is a conversation we must keep having.
To hear more on the subject, do join me at the Childcare Expo on the 2nd March.
