  • Supports the use of the pack by providing more detail, background information, and discussion of current research and case studies in Early Years
  • Examines a range of issues that impact on the development of quality in early years settings
  • Features contributions from influential early years experts, many of whom were involved in the development of the Birth to Three Matters Framework
Topics include national and international policy and research, practitioners, quality, anti-discriminatory practice, inclusion, safety, and training. A sound theoretical approach is supported and enhanced by a highly practical section, which links to the framework and shows how how observation, play, interaction and creativity affects work with very young children. This book supports a variety of professionals involved in the development of policy, practice and quality in early years settings, as well as students seeking to understand more about the Birth to Three Matters Framework and the issues that influence work with this age group.
