About this title

Review:

'This book is an extremely positive contribution in supporting trainees and educators in assuring quality physical development in the EYFS. It is beautifully written, well balanced in theory and practice, and covers a wealth of ideas and thinking. This book works on many levels: it informs, challenges, entertains and educates. I cannot recommend this book enough - it will definitely be on my essential reading list!' Simon Brownhill, Senior Lecturer in Education, University of Derby, UK
