What to look out for

Punishing a child for making a fire engine noise, manhandling toddlers, sleeping on duty and flouting basic hygiene regulations: these were just some of the worrying findings of last night's Real Story investigation into nursery care on BBC1.

The overall impression was that many pre school children are being looked after by overworked, under trained staff. So how can you ensure that the nursery you choose is a good one? Sheila speaks to Lisa Harker, Chair of the Daycare Trust.
