very good 17 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
As a CCLD Level 4 student, I was advised to buy this book by my tutor. Although at first I found the book a bit daunting to look at, it has turned out to be invaluable. As a Early Years Practitioner I really recommend it. It is not only useful for my coursework, but my day to day work too.
