This book shows how the principles of good organisation, management, communication and teamwork can be applied in child care and education. Whatever the early years setting - local authority children's centre, family centre, private, community or workplace nursery, playgroup, nursery school, after-school or holiday play scheme - the book gives practical guidance on how adults can work together effectively for the benefit of young children. The book covers four NVQ/SVQ level 3 endorsements: group care and education; family day care; pre-school provision; family support; and two at level 2: work in a pre-school group; work in a community-run pre-school group. It is also relevant to CACHE-accredited and BTEC awards, and to GNVQ Health and Social Care.
