This book offers a comprehensive reference manual for everyone working with the EYFS. Initially it looks quite daunting, as it is packed with information on every page. The whole of the EYFS is explained, including the statutory requirements and linking to Every Child Matters. Progressing through the book, all areas of learning and development are covered and broken down into age groups.
Each area has practical ideas of what to do. These can easily be individualised for each type of setting, and I would imagine that practitioners will be reassured to find that they are already doing many of these things. Within this section there are frequently asked questions on practical issues, again useful and reassuring.
