The Reception Year in Action: A month-by-month guide to success in the classroom

This is a truly inspiring read for all Foundation Practitioners (Nursery and Reception) who believe in supporting children to be at the very centre of their own learning. Ms Ephgrave reflects on a year in the life of her Reception Class, based on how children are supported to achieve through a child-initiated approach to learning. Much detail of the inspiring provision of enabling environments, particularly outside, with lots of photographs. Ms Ephgrave's style of writing makes this an easy read, easy to dip in and out of. Highly recommended!

It is a very informative book, filled with very interesting and practical ideas to use in a foundation stage classroom.

This book is very useful for both new and experienced teachers. It is packed full of common sense advice and thought provoking ideas.It tackles issues we all debate such as Observations, involvement, should we allow 'weapons' etc.I can thoroughly recommend this book, very good value for money.

This is such a useful book for anyone working in the early years, but particularly for someone new to teaching in Reception or Nursery. It helps you to understand how to plan & teach using a child-centered approach. I have recommended this book to all of my colleagues. It's a must have and a must read!!!

Great book full of some lovely ideas for the early years. This book helped me Create an environment which belonged to the children.
