Simon Brownhill is a lecturer in Education at the University of Derby, UK.

"It is refreshing, the way this book (and others in the series) manages to keep elaborate and expensive resources to a minimum...The ideas are deliberately broad and intended to drive effective provision...This would make an ideal resource for any early years practitioners wanting a bank of good ideas to help promote physical development in their early years setting." Early Years Educator, October 2009
