Provision and Progress for Two Year Olds

‘The number of two-year-olds entering our settings has been increasing over the last few years, and with the government set to continue with the expansion of free places, more and more practitioners will be caring for children in this age range for the first time. For those who still think in terms of the ′terrible twos′, this book serves as a vital and urgent wake-up call. Whether experienced professional or someone starting out on an early years career, it has a great deal to recommend it. ‘

This is a useful guide for novice practitioners regarding what development might be considered typical in young children. However, whilst plenty of additional, more theory-based reading is identified, there is little underpinning theory woven into the actual text, making it more suitable as a supplementary resource of undergraduates rather than a recommended one. -- Mrs Mary Dyer * drupal *
Great text for students to focus in on this important age range. Accessible to students from level 4 to level 6 -- Mrs Michelle Rogers * drupal *
This is a useful guide for anyone new to the early years practitioner role, as it clearly outlines what development might be considered typical in young children of this age. Reference to theory-based reading is identified, which is welcomed for students undertaking academic study, however this book could have been further enhanced if this underpinning theory was woven into the actual text of the book, making it more appropriate as a resource for undergraduates. Whether an experienced professional or someone starting out on an early year’s career it is a good read which is recommended. This literature is particularly good for students who are thinking about progressing onto the Early Years Teacher status qualification. -- Mrs Sharon Colilles * drupal *
