Early Years Teaching and Learning is engaging and thought-provoking in content, format and style.  Very well-researched and presented, I feel confident that it will support and extend your professional learning and motivate you  to  reflect  deeply (and daily) on how best to support our youngest children to develop as confident, happy learners.
