Something for Everyone

I've been away for a week, during which time a number of useful items have been published, so today's post is a quick summary of what's new:

• The DfE has issued new guidance on Teachers Standards for Early Years; these are applicable from September
• On a similar note, new guidance is also available for Early Years Educators (Level 3)
• The Family and Childcare Trust has just released a Holiday Childcare Costs Survey 2013
• The National Day Nurseries Association has recently published a UK Nursery Insight Report
• The Sutton Trust has published The Reading Gap, which looks at how children's socio-economic status impacts on their reading skills
• And if I've missed anything, it's probably covered by the latest issue of On the Web, which rounds up education reports from around the world
