Thoroughly updated to reflect key policy and practice changes in childcare provision, this landmark text translates child development theory and research into everyday practice for working with young children.
The book provides practical ideas developed and tested in nurseries, family and children's centres, focusing on the importance of adventurous play, emotional needs, personalized care, and involving parents. It also explores ways to keep children safe and covers topics such as childcare policy, planning spaces, mealtimes, outdoor learning, leading a childcare centre, and safeguarding.
Designed for those who look after young children day by day, as well as social work students and policy makers, this established practical text is a valuable resource for anyone working with or caring for children under three years old.
