Series guide
This series on the new early years curriculum will illustrate how different children of different ages reach a particular goal. Through this format, the series aims to:

2 aid the planning of developmentally appropriate activities
3 highlight the practitioner's role, and
4 demonstrate that children, as individuals, will reach a goal in different ways.
