A thorough and up to date text which really highlights the crucial issues trainees and practitioners should be aware of - essentially the very unique years of growth and development from birth to three. The ideas for practice and points of reflection ensure that readers engage with the topics. I find this useful to teach from - and can recommend to those on the FDA Early Years as well as postgraduates on the EYTS.

This is an important text, contributing relevant and evolving thinking around how the youngest children are supported in day care. Clearly written and completely in tune with the current discourse around 'care'.
