The Early Years Handbook for Students and Practitioners is a comprehensive and accessible course text for all degree level students undertaking programmes related to early years and childhood studies. Designed and written by the SEFDEY Professional Association and a team of new expert contributors, this text provides a balanced approach to the subjects discussed and encourages you to consider and challenge perceptions of early years and to promote good professional practice.

This edition has been extended to cover the learning and development of children from birth to 8 years and features new chapters on research, risk, neuroscience, the environment and more. Divided into four parts - The Student-Practitioner-Professional; The Learning and Development of Children 0-8; The Child, Family and Society; and The Senior Practitioner-Professional - the book covers all aspects of working with young children and engages you with theory that is explicitly linked to your practice.

In each chapter, the book seeks to help you develop your professional identity and includes:



Activities to help you to reflect on your own practice
Debates and dilemmas to promote discussion between students and colleagues
Real-life case studies and photographs to illustrate key points
Extended "reflective thinking" boxes outlining key research in the field and implications for practice
Suggestions for key projects to help those looking for research topics

The book is supported by a companion website featuring, for students, links to useful websites and video material, and an interactive flashcard glossary. Online support for lecturers includes ideas for tasks and activities to use in class and the diagrams and images in the book available to download.

Carol Hayes is an author and researcher in early years with over 40 years’ experience working as a teacher and tutor. Her most recently held posts include Principal Lecturer at Staffordshire University and external examiner for the Open University.
