About the Authors: Greg Bottrill is an experienced Early Years practitioner and consultant. Committed to changing perceptions of Early Years, he is dedicated to bringing about a new pedagogy that puts the child at the centre of the education Universe.

Stephanie Cook is an Early Years and Key Stage 1 teacher who is passionate about children’s freedoms, their right to be seen as equals within society, and the powerful possibilities of play. She believes that education should be centred around childhood’s intrinsic motivation to learn through play-fullness and an authentic re-connection with Nature. Much of her thinking also explores ‘alternative’ educational approaches and how these might bring positive change to the English education system.
