The new edition of Nursery Management tackles the tough challenge of sustainability and shows how nurseries are having to be creative and resourceful in their drive to build their business.
At the same time, early years settings are working out how they can support the Government's proposed reforms for the Foundation Years - a real balancing act.
Training is always a priority for nurseries, and some are finding innovative ways to continue to support their staff's professional development.
Building the best staff team is, of course, crucial to a nursery's success, and we talk to managers about the shortage of men in the sector. Nicola Amies of Bright Horizons looks at supervision and the new requirements under the revised EYFS, plus HR expert Jacq
ui Mann rounds up new employment legislation and explains the implications for managers.
The quality of nursery food is also high on the agenda, and we find out about the pros and cons of using an outside caterer for early years meals.
All this, plus case studies of early years businesses with some great ideas to consider, makes for essential reading.
