How does good leadership improve outcomes for children? What does quality provision actually look like? The task of this book is to define both of these things; and it does so by looking at a range of perspectives on quality (including those of both parents and children), the development of early years leadership and modern-day quality models, including models of reflection. It is easy to read and digest, with reflection points and chapter summaries.
