Play in the Early Years offers students an accessible introduction to Play, considering key concepts and current debates taking place here and now.

This book is a guide for educators who have the desire to interrupt the cycle of hostility directed toward historically marginalized groups and create a more equatable educational environment.

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.
