Particularly useful for those early years practitioners wanting to move into management roles. Very informative.
Good general information about managing and leading in early years - nothing specifically for playworkers so would only suggest as supplemental copy.
Excellent coverage of the aspects related to leading amd managing Early Years settings. Practitioners' views sections particularly helpful. Linked to approppriate academic and statistical sources. Thank you
