Play is an underlying theme of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) but it is often a challenge for practitioners to provide a play-based curriculum. This book provides guidance on how practitioners can focus on play and meet the requirements of the EYFS.

Giving invaluable advice on how to get the most out of studying for a PGCE, this is a must-have guide for all those on, or looking to embark on, this demanding course.

This new edition integrates leadership and management practice with a real understanding of early years settings.
