It is essential that all home-based professionals working with children understand and encourage learning through play and activities. All children have the right to play and it is important that childcare practitioners promote and value this right, enabling children to achieve their maximum potential. This book is invaluable for all students of the Diploma for Home-based Childcare, and for all practising childminders and nannies who are looking for fresh new ideas and advice on how to encourage the learning of children in their care through play.
