I think the author brilliantly combined theory, research evidence and practice to offer really great insights into so many strands of inclusion. I love the thoughtful questions posed that are relevant for practice and the deeper debates and controversies that are articulated. And for those who want to go further, it offers some super resources in text and web form.
'Provides an overview of current research, policy and practice in diversity and inclusion in the early years'
'The book does not shy away from controversy and debate around whether inclusion can be considered idealistic and these explorations serve t o reinforce the reader's understadning of why inclusion is every child's right'

Will be very helpful for my students undertaking EDI modules
This book is recommended as essential reading on a core Early Childhood Studies module.
This underpins a large proportion of the Diversity and Inclusion modules on our Foundation degree in Early Childhood Studies.
I'm currently teaching Equality and Diversity to my degree students. I found the case studies and the review questions really good and useful in my sessions. The book is a good read with lots of examples and nice ideas which are thought provoking. I've recommended it to my students.
A user-friendly resource book for students of early years and practitioners alike. It offers a comprehensive overview of inclusion issues surrounding race, gender, culture, traveller children and English as a second language.
There only few good books covering inclusion in early year settings and this is one of those. It covers almost all aspects of inclusion with its broader meaning. It provides an overview of current policies and practice enriched by several research examples, concerning equality and diversity in inclusive early years settings. A very good way to introduce inclusion with its broader meaning to undergraduate students who aim to become practitioners (and not only).
Case studies and examples of good practice are especially helpful. Chapter titles make the book easy to navigate.
Useful tasks and case studies support students to contextualise.
really informative book, good subjects discussed
For those trainees interested in ALN and SEN this makes an interesting and informative addition.
An excellent publication that makes this topic relevant, clear, interesting and thought provoking. Highly recommended.
Brillian and easy to read!
This text was a useful addition to our Inclusion module, offering a clear introduction to some general themes and concepts. Students found the case studies helpful as starting points for discussion.
Very Good book adopted as recommended reading for a Module on Inclusive Practice in the Early Years.
Really useful
Within the Foundation Degree for Early Years Care and Education we are adding this to our reading list. This beautifully underpins the knowledge needed for the Equal Opportunities module. The text identifies the diverse nature of settings and gives practical guidance of how to challenge discrimination and become champions of equality. I particularly like the case studies and activities which give the students practise with challenging, potenially discriminatory, situations.
Recommended text to our child branch nursing students
