By explaining the theoretical context and highlighting relevant research evidence, this book supports a whole child approach to learning in the early years.

*diversity

*inclusion

*thinking skills

The links made between theory and practice, and the practical suggestions for how to make this happen in any early years setting, make this book a vital text for all early years students.
