This exciting new edition is an essential study companion for practitioners and students in early years at Levels
4 and 5 as well as for lecturers to add to their course reading lists. The chapters address a wide range of topics
relevant to early years practice and theories, written by authors with extensive knowledge and understanding of
the early years, in practice and as academic lecturers.

Existing chapters have been refreshed and include new findings, while new chapters have been added to address important matters of early numeracy, literacy, language, transitions and staff supervision in early years.
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is taken into consideration in all chapters.

Equality and diversity issues are addressed throughout, with an awareness that early years provision must focus on the individual child, and differentiation applied to cater for all children's learning and development.

Listening to children and their participation in decision-making processes are as important as observation, assessment and planning for their personal, emotional and social growth and development as active citizens in society.

The content of each chapter relates to classic theory and models in early years research and practice with references to the Early Years Foundation Stage (2017), government guidance, legislation, social policy, and Ousted requirements. Each chapter provides creative suggestions, case studies or scenarios and interactive features to apply to and reflect on practice, as well as wider reading and research suggestions to extend knowledge and understanding.

The chapters are structured in a consistent manner, making them easily accessible, and they are designed to
engage the reader with the topics, encouraging wider reading and signposting to further resources relevant to
practice and appropriate to the level of study.

Thank you to all the authors who have contributed to this invaluable book and who generously shared their
expertise and knowledge about early years.
