- A new chapter on risk and challenge in play
- New case studies
- International examples

A key book for those in practice, and underpinned by sound theory, this book will help you encourage and support inclusive play throughout your setting; it is packed with activities for you to try, ideas for small changes to make that can have a big impact and clear guidance on writing a play policy.
With a focus on appreciating children as individuals, this book is essential for all early years practitioners and those studying early years at any level.
An excellent resource of startagies to support learning through play with young children. An excellent guide for early years practitioners and those who work with parents.
This book provides good examples of inclusive practice within Early Years settings, particularly for Level 3 and 4 students.
the students found this book easy to use whilst completing the play unit of their course. Most of the students purchased the book for future reference whilst in the work place
The contents of this allows students to delve further into play, and allows for an easy read for undergraduates completing the play module. Great on the reading list
Too much different from the Dutch situation.
Excellent book.

Some good activities to support prctitioners in thier settings
This book will be really useful as a recommended text as we currently have one course on the Foundation Degree in Early Years which covers inclusion. Another course focuses on play so this book will be really useful for that course too. The students who have looked at it already like the fact that it is practical and useful for giving them real strategies to use in the setting.
This is a useful text as trainees sometimes have difficulty understanding the value of play. This book spans the age range 0-8 which makes it more of an interesting read.
Use to support newly revalidated SEND and Play modules for early years - includes case studies and ideas of observations too
I think this is a good read for students with just the right amount of theorestical underpinning.
