Reviewed by Marion Dowling, early years consultant
These comprehensive training materials are beautifully presented in a file containing:
- invaluable information about how very young children develop and learn, and suggestions for observing and planning for them
- developmental steps to observe and suggested programmes of experiences to offer a child, organised into areas of learning
- practical suggestions for improvised games and songs
- a DVD showing good practice in two group settings.
The delight and enthusiasm that Sally Thomas takes in very early years practice shines through. She constantly reminds the reader to be alert to and respond to the needs of each unique baby and child.
