Extending Professional Practice in the Early Years is aimed at early years practitioners engaged in on-going learning and working in a diverse range of settings. It will be of interest to those undertaking undergraduate and graduate training in early years, and those involved in continuing their professional development. It is a valuable and unique resource for those in the later stages of their professional development.
