By Jacqueline Duncan and Madelaine Lockwood (Continuum, £19.99, ISBN 9781847061683, 020 7922 0880)

Early years practitioners are shown how to develop their understanding and practical applications in all early years settings in this handbook. The book is centered around two principles of learning - that it should begin 'where the child is' and that it should be gained through play.

Chapters support:

- An understanding of play and its role in learning

- An understanding of the role of the adult in the pre-school setting

- The development of practitioners' skills in providing effective learning and development through quality play

- Developing and planning the curriculum and learning environment.
