'This unique text helps readers craft strong professional identities, unambiguous educational philosophies and conviction in their practice. The authors encourage reflexive and situated interpretations of lessons from the long history of early education; perceptive and respectful responses to signals young children give adults about their roles; and a weather eye to the policy telescope. Like a compass, this book provides points of reference for new pioneers to steer a course towards principled early years education, now and for the future.'

Dr Sacha Powell

‘This book is an essential read for all those studying and working in the early years. It does indeed give a rootedness to our work and allows us to ponder. Most importantly it reminds us about the importance of the early years and our responsibility to continually advocate for the youngest children.’

Dr. Eunice Lumsden

As ever with Cathy's books an insparational book that allows early childhood to be understood by all undergraduates. The students have started to apply Cathy's knowledge to their work. Good book to adotpted for any undergraduate.

Mrs karen Cooke

This book has lots of information on the history of ECE, including classic and contemporary influential theorists. I will recommend this book to students who wish to examine how the history of ECE has shaped today’s practice.

Mrs Emma Harvey

Perfect book for my students who have very little time to think, let alone learn, how the theoretical underpinnings relate to practice. Great book for EYs professional trainees.

Dr Judy Sayers

The book gives a very good overview of the history of early childhood education. Moreover, the philosophical origin of educational science is considered as well.
The British centered view on education history is understandable - I will need to provide extra information for my German students in this case.

Miss Kirsten Frieda Bruhn

This is great book for those who are interested in the foundations of early childhood. It can be an ideal textbook for students and tutors in the field and it is strongly recommended for university courses. It introduces all the most important aspects of early years care and education, and will help you develop the key skills needed to study at degree level. Importantly, it goes beyond theory and puts theoretical aspects and principles of early childhood into practice.

Dr Kyriakos Demetriou

Personally I enjoyed the concept of interviewing past theorists for their opinions on Early Years Education today. Students also seemed to find this concept made theory understandable and relatable to Early Years today

Mrs Nicola Demetriadi

A balance of facts and an interesting reflection on their place in todays early years.

Mrs Nicola Demetriadi

The book is informative and does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a straightforward introduction to the history of early childhood education and emphasises the role of history and philosophy in early childhood practice today. It will be a good book for first year students on Childhood Studies and Early Years degree courses.

Mrs Amanda Crow

Novel approach to theoretical perspectives.

Mrs Tracey Dobbs

This is a vital read for all Foundation degree Early Years students. It provides clear information on the history of education and its pioneers.

Mr Denise Nannetti

great for building knowledge base of EY issues

Mrs Victoria Williams

Fantastic book which we will be using for our new full-time degree in early childhood education and care starting in September. The imagined conversations add an interesting dimension which will engage the students.

Ms Kath Tayler

Particularly like the chapter on early childhood pioneers. This will be particularly useful for first year students, hearing about theorists for the first time and this is beautifully enhanced by the conversations chapter

Mrs Tanya Richardson

A good background into areas relating to schools and early education.

Mrs Gail Parker

A very good book that provides an insightful background read on Early Childhood Education.

Miss Annette Trilk

A very useful book for all Early Childhood Students who are seeking guidance and clarity on the journey the concept of childhood and early education and care has taken over the centuries. The first part acts as a good starting point for further research and reading whilst part 3 enables students to begin to see some of the connections across the historical journey and our current ever evolving ECEC system!

Mrs Caroline Guard

Good general text. Asked library to order and put out on the general pre-reading for a range of programmes.

Mrs Jan Gourd

An excellent overview of the pioneers who have influenced the development of early childhood education.
