'Highly recommended. Ann Clare challenges some widely used theorists and successfully argues the importance of interactions between adult carers and our youngest children, in an appropriate early childhood environment. This text is absolutely current and relevant to the Early Years Sector. A wonderful contribution from a new researcher and writer' - Chelle Davison, Senior Lecturer in Early Years Professional Practice, Leeds Metropolitan University
A useful source to use with EYITT students when considering how to teach babies and toddlers. It explores what working with this age range looks like in practice.
A very useful book which provides case study material to further reflect and discuss. Sound links to theory bring the case studies alive and this is particularly useful as students prepare for placement.
I found this to be an engaging, accessible and and informative text. Ann Clare addresses the really current issues in early years with knowledge and inspiration, Clare captures the essence of working with young children, identifies the key areas and gives an academic frame to the nuances of understanding, knowledge and care. The book includes observations and case studies that bring infancy to life and model good practice for students and practitioners.
Love the focus on environments throughout the book and the case studies add the extra depth to bring things to life.
This book was suitable for the module, effective learning environments. Although my students found the information limited, the content was appropriate for the assignments as supporting literature.
Very current text, Highly recommend as it provided strong links between theory and practice. A good book for students who are new to working with babies and young children as it provides excellent case studies to support understanding in practice
The close links between theory and practice make this a very useful book for students working at all levels on our modules, and particularly for our new EYTS course.
An excellent text to address aspects of the module entitled Infant and toddler years.
This will be a valuable resource for students completing unit 35 of national diploma. it covers so many aspects in detail that is geared at their level.
A much needed book for students and practitioners working with babies and toddlers- as they can often be overlooked in more generic texts. Recommended particularly for students with little experience of working with children of this age.
this is a very insightful book. I will strongly recommend it to students and also to graduates working in early years.
I will ensure the leaning centre stocks this book, it will help support the students on the early years courses throughout college. The book is broken down into informative chapters, this will help the students when planning their own environments. The book is set out clearlyand offers a set of case studies to help the learning process, with a good section on the role of the adult.
good starting point when considering the environment and the impact this may have
An essential book for all those working with babies and young children. The case studies complement the text and the research explored by the author is honest and refreshing.
This is a lovely book that really focuses on an age group so often over looked. It also stresses the importance of the adult role in the environment and gives practicle advice to make it work.
Suppirtive for the advanced practitioner.
A well presented informative book. The author gives clear information to enable practitioners to understand the importance of providing an enabling environment for very young children. Babies and toddlers need the very best environments to enable them to thrive and learn.
EYPS candidates spend time working with babies as part of their programme and do not always have the theoretical background, this text helps to put working with babies into context.
good to access a book which underlines the importance of the environment for the youngest children
