Parenta Magazine February 2018

Welcome to our family
Welcome to the second
edition of the Parenta
magazine for 2018!
There have been some
seismic changes happening
in our sector lately, with the
departure of childcare minister Goodwill and
the arrival of Zahawi. On top of this, some local
authorities are starting to take notice of the
chronic underfunding crisis and the misuse of
the word 'free' in the 30 hours promotions
- more details on page 28.
But there's still a long way to go to address the
huge inequalities in our sector.
This month, we've looked at some important
dates in the calendar, such as Chinese New
Year, and how you can celebrate this at your
setting.
Our wonderful guest authors have covered a
range of interesting topics, including how we can
support children to become good negotiators by
giving them a 'toolkit' to resolve conflict.
If you'd like to voice your opinion on a specific
topic, or about the sector in general, do get in
touch at marketing@parenta.com. Every month,
we're giving away £50 as part of our competition
- details on page 16. If you submit an article to
us, you could be a winner!
This month is a busy one for us as we'll be
heading to Nursery World (Stand D18) on the 2nd
& 3rd of February and The Childcare Exhibition
(Stand D4) in London on the 2nd & 3rd of March.
If you're going too, we'd love you to come and
have a catch up with us.
Best wishes,
Allan
