Healthy and Active Lifestyles for the Early Years

(Pre-School Learning Alliance, 9.55 for members; 12.95 non-members, ISBN9781907478062)

Written by early years practitioners for early years practitioners, this glossy A4 book provides advice and guidance about how children and families can be best supported to achieve healthy lifestyles.

Case studies are provided by a wide range of settings. For example, Seashells Day Nursery in Mablethorpe outlines how it has turned its mealtimes into a fun, social experience by encouraging children to make their own choices and develop lively interaction, while the Hinckley Road Nursery in Coventry highlights the benefits of a nursery allotment for staff, children and parents. There is also guidance on physical activities including planning for energetic play and incidental physical activity. With its beautiful photographs this is a book that everyone in the nursery will enjoy referencing.
