A key book for those in practice, and underpinned by sound theory, this book will help you encourage and support inclusive play throughout your setting; it is packed with activities for you to try, ideas for small changes to make that can have a big impact and clear guidance on writing a play policy.

This is a useful text as trainees sometimes have difficulty understanding the value of play. This book spans the age range 0-8 which makes it more of an interesting read.
Extremely useful for students working in diverse environments; putting theory into practice.
Excellent book.
Some good case studies, lots of further reading to support the book.
Some good activities to support prctitioners in thier settings
This book provides an excellent resource in today's inclusive society. The photocopiable resources and diagrams give a great focus to the student with simple ideas that can make a wealth of difference within the school setting.
Quite a good book to supplement for generic modules on the Childhood Studies course.
This book provides good examples of inclusive practice within Early Years settings, particularly for Level 3 and 4 students.
very useful book across a number of courses.
Interesting book, good structure, not core txt
The text will be useful across a range of modules on play and is therfore chosen as a supplemental text
I like the examples of play that are used in this book, however, since my class is theory based I will only recommend it to the students as supplemental reading. I will recommend it to my colleague who teaches the practicle element of the course.
