Too much warmth and not enough bright light. Seedlings always grow towards the light and if it is warm they grow very fast - real problem on indoor windowsills. General rule is once they have germinated reduce the heat and increase the light. Brassicas are quite hardy and once germinated can go into a cold greenhouse or coldframe. When pricking out or transplanting put them in so that the lowest pair of leaves are at soil level.
