Grounded in recent research on the challenges of working with two-year-olds, Places for Two-year-olds in the Early Years explores how this often-overlooked age group is presented in policy and practice, and discusses why working with two-year-olds can be both exciting and highly rewarding. The book builds on theoretical understandings of child development, high quality provision and pedagogical practice, to offer practical solutions to working effectively with two-year-olds and their families in a variety of early years settings.

Chapters focus on the specific needs of two-year-olds and the accompanying demands made on settings and practitioners, and many topics are also approached from a practical perspective, prompting readers to consider their own experiences of working with two-year-olds. The book explores:

- understandings of ‘high quality’ education and care

- varying workforce requirements and professional development

- how practitioners develop knowledge(s) about working with two-year-olds

- physical and social environments for two-year-olds

- the role of the adult or key person in supporting children’s development

- provision of services for disadvantaged two-year-olds.

With reflective questions and annotated further reading included throughout, Places for Two-year-olds in the Early Years is essential reading for practitioners, policy-makers and students involved in this often-overlooked area of early years provision.
