About this title

Synopsis

Independent learning and child-initiated activities are at the heart of early learning and this book follows on from the very successful 'Child-initiated learning' but for younger children. It explains the background and philosophy behind independent play for the under 3s and then each chapter relates to a specific area of learning/play e.g. messy play, water play, mud play (!) supported by lots of practical activities and suggestions for suitable resources. Crucially, it also suggests ways of involving parents. With her experience as a trained NNEB practitioner and EYPS advisor (Early Years Professional Status), Su is ideally placed to author this exciting new title. This book will appeal to early years practitioners, nursery staff, childminders and parents.
