Editorial Reviews
Review
An amazing text, that is easy to read and engaging from start to finish. I can’t recommend this text highly enough. It is an essential text for any Childhood studies or Education studies students.
An excellent contribution to the arena of Early Childhood Studies which clearly demonstrates the benefits of examining Early Years from multiple perspectives. Not only does the author define psychology and sociology as workable theories within social sciences, but through the application and analysis of social policy the students are guided into developing the interconnections between theory, pedagogy and reflective practice. The research chapter (7) is particularly well positioned, leaving the reader with the impression that they are being effortlessly guided towards research as a normal expectation within on-going ‘good’ Early Years practice.
