A Practical Guide to Observation and Assessment 4e
"This is a very good book. It provides a very detailed picture of what is needed to observe the child. I'd recommend it to anyone that is doing a Childcare/Montessori course as this is going to be my bible for the next to years! You'll find all the information that you need."

A Practical Guide to Child Care and Education Placements
"A good useful book, which helps you on your childcare placements. Ideal for starting Level 1 or 2 placements, if you are unsure what to do the book tells you the key basics for your placement and also helps you with the coursework.”

A Practical Guide to Activities for Older Children 2e
“This book is now essential for playworkers and childcare students in my opinion! The activity planning at my holiday club has been stress free using this book.
Not only do the inventive activities go down a storm with the kids on the day, a vibrant, catchy strapline is given in the book for each one, which we use in our advertising. My only complaint? It wasn't written sooner! I'm hoping for a sequel.”

Good Practice in Playwork
“As a longstanding practitioner of both face Playwork and now as a worker in the Policy and Standards field, I have found this to be an excellent text. So good in fact that, when it was first published, I bought a copy for all of the Play Centres that I then managed!
It is an excellent work of reference for experienced practitioners and equally useful for the aspiring playleader, combining much of the information needed for underpinning knowledge in the NVQ in Playwork at Levels 2 and 3.
In addition it is a fine and thought provoking read for anyone (parent, playworker, teacher or other),who wants to know about providing a quality play experience for children."
