Media Reviews
'What an excellent book! As newly qualified childminders we found in it a wealth of practical information that will assist us in the everyday running of our business.' Carrie and Gavin Ford, Happy Haven Childminding 'A book full of ideas from first-hand experiences, and a great reference book for use when planning activities. Many reward-system ideas are included to help combat behaviour problems. I particularly liked the ideas for games and activities being categorized by age of the child.'
Julie Hodgson, Childminder

'This is a very useful reference book for anyone completing any training relating to childminding. I wish I had a copy when I was working towards my Level 3 qualification in early years care and education. I would recommend it to anyone looking to increase their knowledge about children's learning - especially though play.'

Susanna Dawson, Child Care magazine
