Publisher's Note
`This book is excellent. It is very easy to read and it starts with the basics, before allowing the reader to be more reflective' - Michelle Smith has a BA (Hons) degree in Early Childhood Studies and has recently completed her Early Years PGCE
'[These authors] have usefully worked to show how policy tends to be developed and who is likely to influence the details. The detailed case study of the proposals in Every Child Matters offers a helpful example to ground the wealth of detail. The chapters that follow could well help readers to reflect on what happens to real children and families as the result of policies' - Nursery World
