This book provides an in-depth look at the EYFS with ways to implement a a broad and balanced curriculum, with a theme of equity running through. Particularly useful read for educators studying at degree level who want to develop their understanding of the seven areas of learning (and beyond) rather than skimming the surface as is often seen in EY settings. Beautifully written and insightful by carefully chosen experts in the field.
