"Because it includes new research and guidelines, the book's not just excellent for students but very useful for pre-school practitioners across the board. Highly recommended!"

This engaging text provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of early childhood. Written and edited by experts in the field, the book clearly explains theory through illustrations of good practice, with case studies, reflective exercises and suggestions for further reading.
Each chapter has been revised with an emphasis on encouraging reflective practice and there are new chapters on:
- Personal, social, and emotional development
- Early Years Professional Status (EYPS)
- Health and safeguarding children
This brand new edition has also been updated in light of the new Early Years Foundation Stage, and addresses the needs of students working towards EYPS.
Superb peice of literature which will support our learners achieve wider outcomes for L3 Diploma
Recommended for all students who are studying towards a foundation degree in childhood studies. This book includes good practice, theory and current research. it is very user friendly and has contributions from some of the best experts in the area of child development. This book will not only support the students learning, but enhanced and extend it. A complete introduction into the field of early childhood.
Tina Bruce never fails to provide a really interesting and helpful read for my students
Another easy to read and understand book by Linda Pound. The book that every student studying Early Years must have as it covers all aspects of the EY sector.
I liked Biddle's text better.
a good source of reference and also as a supplementary source of knowledge for those completing the National Diploma. Very good unit on observations which can be used across courses. Up to date information on playwork which is relevant to our changing society. Up to date and relevant knowledge in relation to the curriculum and how this can be applied.
Excellent author.
Another great book from Tina as usual full of lots of down to earth information
This book provides good basic text covering a broad range of issues. It's extremely well written and easy to read.
This was useful for my students in supporting their study of a number of types of children's symbolic behaviour.
