Summary:

In response to growing pressure on early years practitioners to adopt a 'tick-box' approach to recording children's progress, this book sets out a bold, alternative vision for assessment in the early years. Drawing upon an inspiring collaboration between London nursery schools, this book explores and reconsiders the purpose of observation in early years settings.
