The book updates all current thinking, knowledge and understanding in relation to the fundamentals of establishing quality early years settings. Childminders are included which is useful as some students are childminders by trade. Reflective practice is a big part of the course and links specifically with the unit on quality. Play, creativity,technology and leading practice are my specialist areas which I teach about within the units for year 1 and 2 but having this book helps students to reflect on aspects of quality within these elements. I particularly like chapter 11: starting with the student. This is something to consider for the start of Yr1 and as new units of work have been written this book can help with the content and format of these.
