CYP Now - RESOURCES: Review - Skills development for the early years

There is more focus on the early-years sector than ever before, and programmes like the BBC's Child of our Time highlight the importance of the first three, if not first five, years of a child's life and how they have an impact on adulthood.

It is during these formative years that children's learning experiences help them to develop and communicate with others.

Play is an integral part of this learning process, and Pat Broadhead brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to bear in this publication.

Covering the importance of uninterrupted play for the youngest children, Early Years Play and Learning provides an opportunity for professionals to deepen their knowledge of the early learning process.

It analyses a range of play experiences for young children, and explains how they benefit their personal, social and emotional development, communication skills, and language and literacy.

Moreover this book echoes the thoughts of the sector at a time when a consensus has been developed around quality care and education of very young children.
