Overall it is well written and researched providing thorough knowledge and understanding of the subject area with good references to how the EYFS(Early Years Foundation Stage frame work) is implemented within nursery settings. The reflective tasks provide a very useful tool for students and practioners to reflect and consider to support their studies and practices.
