This book offers guidance on how to provide high quality provision for two year olds. With a mix of key theories, reflective questions and practice case studies the book will help the practitioner / student to reflect on the links between the development and learning needs of two year olds and how practitioners provide for them. Following the journey two year olds take through all aspects of their experience, the book starts with being at home, through transition into a setting and then considers each aspect of provision. With the case study observations of practice, practitioners and students can accompany the child on their journey in order to better understand the child’s viewpoint and to explore and analyse concepts of good quality practice and provision in order to achieve sustained improvements in provision for this age group.
