Critic Reviews

“'This user-friendly book could help early years professionals to reflect on their current practice and development skills, meet the diverse needs of the children in their care and promote interdisciplinary teamwork.'”

‘This user-friendly book could help early years professionals to reflect on their current practice  and development skills, meet the diverse needs of the children in their care and promote interdisciplinary teamwork.' -- Nursery World
Creative Development provides both breadth and depth on this very important aspect of early years' education. The book is written at a level that is intellectually stimulating but also highly accessible. The use of case examples and suggestions for practice provide a wealth of ideas for new practitioners, and the suggestions for reflection can be very useful in the teacher education classroom. -- Early Years 32 (1) March 2012
‘This commendably practical guide will be valuable for practitioners at different career stages who are keen to support young children's creative development. The authors write from strong practical experience, as well as drawing on current theory and research, to provide a comprehensive overview of creative development in the Early Years Foundation Stage, as well as helpful ideas for those working in Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum.' Sue Robson, Principal Lecturer and Head of Early Childhood Studies, Roehampton University, UK
