Quick Guides Introduction

Our ‘Quick Guides’ are designed to provide practitioners with simple and easily accessible points of reference surrounding a variety of topics and processes relating to Early Years practice.

Whilst the first ‘Quick Guide’ of the series focuses on ‘High-Quality Observations’, further topics will be added overtime, offering a comprehensive range of options.

Each topic is supported by 2 different types of downloadable resource:

  • A4 posters that can be displayed in relevant areas.
  • On-the-floor fold-out pamphlets for reference during practice.
