'This admirable book covers key historical and contemporary theories which underlie different approaches to Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). The authors have devised an excellent format which locates approaches to practice in a clear theoretical framework and also invites practitioners to engage in critical reflection, to develop their own distinct practices. This is a much needed strategy in a field where practitioners have often lacked the critical edge which could put them in the driving seat of their own practice.
This text offers an excellent range of insights into current issues of how learning is viewed within the early years, embracing multiple perspectives and of real interest to students and fellow lecturers alike.

An excellent book that really explains the theory behind early years practice. My students have had to explore philisophical approaches and perspectives and this text book enables them to look further than just their own textbok. A great resource.
A great book for topic specific readings
Brilliant informative book
This book highlighted some of the key learning approaches that students discuss within the process of them completing there Foundation Degree. It is ideal for getting students to consider some of the more contemporary theories which are often not thought of due to it being current or recent practice. The discussion questions are really good for encouraging students to think about the theory in question.
I found the book very readable and the information very accessible for my students. The information is up to date and the "questions for discussion" very useful for starter activities to use in seminars
really informative book, gives the students details regarding the theories without it being too technical and confusing.
