Fully updated to include all the latest developments in early years policy such as the revised Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), this book explores how policy is made, implemented, analysed and developed over time. There is a complete overview of early years policy, and an evaluation of its ongoing impact on practice. Case studies, points for reflection and activities encourage discussion and critical thinking.

This Third Edition has been significantly updated to include:

- a new chapter on international early years policy

- discussion of the impact of the recession and the Coalition Government's policies

- material on how ordinary practitioners can influence policy

- a revised timeline of early years legislation.

This text is an essential read for early years students at all levels, and early years practitioners.

Peter Baldock worked extensively in Early Years education and was chair of the executive committees of two children's chartities based in Sheffield.

Damien Fitzgerald and Janet Kay are both Principal Lecturers in Childhood Studies at Sheffield Hallam University.
