Media Reviews
Title mention in Nursery Education
'Very informative, an easy reference and easy to understand, Childminder's Handbook is a must for anyone considering childminding or for newly registered childminders. As I childminder myself I particularly enjoyed the case study exercises at the end of the chapters. The book also contains lots of useful addresses and websites.' --Sanford Lakoff
