Anna's Books

Children are born with a natural desire to explore and learn and practitioners can support them in this.  We do this by creating an enabling environment (both physical and emotional) and through the relationships and interactions that the children experience.  We do not plan ahead, rather we remain “in the moment” with the children as they explore and learn.  We observe carefully, and enhance the learning whenever we spot a “teachable moment”.  Our observations, interactions and the outcomes are recorded afterwards. 

This is a simple message – Let the children choose what to do, join them and support them in their pursuits and then write up some of what has happened. 

This book will explain in detail how this looks in practice and what outcomes are achieved.  

This book has become a best seller amongst early years practitioners in a variety of settings.  It is endorsed by Helen Bilton and Margaret Edgington.
