I will highly recommend this book to my students and will also use it myself when researching for teaching modules. It covers a wide range of subjects that are organised into thematic sections. The content is current and makes links to relevant and often recent research. Each chapter encourages reflection and discussion and provides further reading recommendations and links to websites.
The breadth of topics covered in this book makes it ideal as supplementary reading for undergraduates embarking on the Early Years Teacher training course. It will provide those who are entering the profession, with an introduction to the context and history of early childhood and offers an overview of relevant topics that will be covered in the course.
A useful contribution to a rather crowded area of study. It is hard to find a single text that hits all the spots for speech and language therapists but the chapters on play and learning and the videos and links are a real asset and will be used.
A good book highlighting key issues that concern early childhood with some useful points for reflection and discussion.
Good text for for year one students new to the profession.
This book provides a rich introduction to key issues that concern early childhood. It makes us think about what matters to young children and what professionals can do to protect their well-being. The broad coverage and the reflective nature of the book make it an invaluable resource for those who are new to early childhood studies, for practitioners and researchers, and also for anyone who cares about the quality of early childhood practice.
This book has to be one of the most refreshing and realistic books on early years holistic care and education on the market. There is a wide range of highly relevant issues included, all presented in a way that provokes the reader to reflect and analyse their developing knowledge and understanding. It is an excellent resource for students studying early years care and education. It provides a stimulating and thought provoking insight into the field of early childhood.
