I am sure many of you saw the news about 'Button batteries' last week - I was horrified by what I learnt and so I am sharing the information here with all of you lovely people! I think it would be worth sharing this info with parents - I bet some of them have no idea about the potential danger they pose. Button batteries are found in household items including watches and clocks, bathroom scales, toys, television remote controls and bicycle lights.

As Sam Gyimah moves to the Ministry of Justice and with Justine Greening as Education Secretary, what now for the childcare sector? http://www.conservativehome.com/parliament/2016/07/all-the-latest-junior-ministerial-appointments.html So many questions.., What happens about the funding review that was due to be published next month? How does this affect 30 hours funding? Etc... I'm sure there's never a good time for change, but with all what's going on in our sector, the timing could the timing be any worse?

Early years is on the agenda in Westminster today (at 9.30 and 2.30) - you can follow the debates here and we will post the key points after the events have finished! The first debate is about 'school readiness'. The second debate will discuss 'free childcare for 3 and 4' year olds.
