'A wonderful introduction to the possibilities, potential and pleasures of playing outdoors for children in the Foundation Stage. This book is enjoyable and accessible, leading the reader to engage with a range of current research as well as with reflective activities to promote high quality individual professional practice.' Anna Cox, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for PGCE Early Years Education, University of Northampton, UK 'A thought-provoking but very accessible book covering a lot of ground, playing a valuable role in bringing together a wide range of research and showing how this can guide practice in outdoor provision. I particularly like how Ros skilfully uses relevant research findings to give readers food for thought for making effective decisions regarding a range of common dilemmas in practice outdoors, demonstrating the need to generate and use evidence rather than assumptions.' Jan White, Consultant for Outdoor Provision in the Early Years, UKMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
