I think this book is of great value for everyone in early years. Cathy Nutbrown 'de bunks' much of the terminology used and offers clear concise information about many key concepts and topics. I found exactly what I needed quickly and easily. Excellent for all levels, to inform, sanction ideas or as a starting point to inspire further reading. Great support for staff teaching new cypw quals.
