Reviews
"This most useful of series...identifies children's abilities in the context of the EYFS." Child Care Magazine
"Convey[s] very important information in a very straightforward and
easily understandable way, making [it] ideal for use by a wide range of
students and early years practitioners." Early Years Update
"This book was informative and easy to read and understand. It helps practitioners to understand the importance of keeping planning focussed on the children and gives them tips on how to do it. The book is broken down into sections under the EYFS making the practitioners who work with this age aware of the development stages the two year olds go through. The ‘Food for thought’ sections are very useful in helping practitioners reflect on their practice and making them question if they are offering the best service they can by providing quality care and education to each and every child."
