Reviews

"The Early Years Handbook for Students and Practitioners should be on an essential book list for everyone who is involved or interested in early years education. It covers an extremely comprehensive range of subjects which are written by authors from different but relevant backgrounds and experiences. This is a strength of this book as each author brings a fresh approach and style, always eminently readable and with a common thread of providing reflection and provocation points which involve the reader in their ideas."

Heather Lowe, Homerton Children's Centre, Cambridge, UK

"A comprehensive guide for those working in the early years which covers the key areas of theory and practice. The range of authors compliment the breadth and depth of the publication. A good all round text for practitioners and those supporting practitioner development."

Mary Briggs, Oxford Brookes University, UK

"This book covers a wide range of relevant issues both for new and more experienced early childhood studies students in an accessible format. It provides excellent material for stimulating professional discussion and reflection."

Lesley Dove, University of Bolton, UK

"This is an essential guide for those students filled with the fundamental skills, knowledge and understanding they need to become inspiring effective early years practitioners."
