A key book for those in practice, and underpinned by sound theory, this book will help you encourage and support inclusive play throughout your setting; it is packed with activities for you to try, ideas for small changes to make that can have a big impact and clear guidance on writing a play policy.
With a focus on appreciating children as individuals, this book is essential for all early years practitioners and those studying early years at any level.

Useful practical guide for those students who approach their learning from their practice settings.
Too much different from the Dutch situation.
A clear and easy to read text, which includes many very practical suggestions and presents a coherent view of good practice.
This book will be really useful as a recommended text as we currently have one course on the Foundation Degree in Early Years which covers inclusion. Another course focuses on play so this book will be really useful for that course too. The students who have looked at it already like the fact that it is practical and useful for giving them real strategies to use in the setting.
I think this is a good read for students with just the right amount of theorestical underpinning.
