`The strength of the book lies in its ability to untangle the conglomeration of key developments of early years policy from 1945-2005 whilst at the same time establishing itself as a reference book on early years policy that will never outdate itself. I predict that this book will quickly find a place on the book lists of colleges and universities around the country′ - ESCalate
`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
