This text provides a valuable insight into the complexities associated with leadership and management within early years settings.
This text explores some of the key issues for Early Years Practitioners. Useful references are included.
A good read for those students wishing to progress in childcare. Particularly liked the chapters on reflection.
The text is recommended to students undertaking a final year option module of the same title. The book provides a real life, research context for the challenges of policy, practice and leadership in the sector.
Builds positively on previous edition, with relevant links to case studies and practice evidence.
I have been trialling it with my early years group and they like it.
A detailed book that be useful for students looking to work toward supervisor posts with education. Useful for reflective practice and making changes to practice. Up to date theory and practical help for those moving into the world of management or those dipping their toe in the water for the first time.
A very useful text for those with, and those working towards Early Years Professional Status. It supports current leaders and managers and those aspiring to be so.
A really valuable resource for students where leadership and management are now genuineky being recognised as key to quality provision in the early years. It is good to have reference to EYPS and further encouragement on the value of reflective practice.
Will recommend as supplementary reading for students. Would like more focus on the excellent work taking place within the Foundation Phase in Wales.
