Any teachers around?

I am trying to find some GOOD educational software for my children, similiar to that which is used in schools.

I am struggling to find any commercially available software which is of any decent quality, follows the curriculum/key stages etc.

Wondered if any teachers could point me in the right direction.

Am looking for reception class software at present.

I have found http://www.4mation.co.uk/ which seem to be the best I have found so far.

Will buy the new Grannys Garden game, has some good resources with it too.

Anyone else or can you name drop some publishers/titles.

Many thanks.

The schools i do work at use espresso but thats a school only set up and you cannot use it at home.

They also use a lot of software from sherston.
