"There are helpful case studies to encourage and develop reflective analytical thinking, with key points illustrated effectively in the ‘reflective practice boxes’. […] It is a very relevant and helpful book in that it deals with challenges and questions that practitioners are most likely to come across in their professional lives. It is essential reading material for all students on early childhood studies course and Early Years Foundation Degrees." – Martine Horvath, eye magazine
