Services for young children have gone through a period of rapid
transformation in recent years, which have been paralleled by great
advances in our knowledge of early child development. However, care
and education in the first three years of life continues to be a
neglected area.
Thoroughly updated to take account of key policy and practice
changes in childcare provision, this landmark text translates child
development theory and research into everyday practice. All the
practical ideas in the book have been developed and tested in
nurseries, family and children s centres and include the importance
of providing opportunities for adventurous and exploratory play for
babies and toddlers, understanding and responding to children's
emotional needs and offering personalized and sensitive care. The
book also explores different ways of working with parents and the
role of early years settings and practitioners in helping to keep
children safe. It includes chapters on:
- Childcare policy and services
- Planning spaces for living, learning and playing
- Babies in day care
- Heuristic play with objects
- Mealtimes
- Learning out of doors
- Leading and managing a childcare centre
- Involving and working with parents
- Safeguarding children
"
