From bestselling author Alistair Bryce-Clegg comes an essential book for all Early Years practitioners, focusing on how to make sure your displays are child-led and child-focused. Learning opportunities in the early years need to be child-led and child-centered, and yet many settings still create displays that are by adults and for adults, or which have involved children putting together pre-prepared pieces to form near-identical finished products.

Both the EYFS and the Children''s Act ask that children play an active part in decision-making processes, and child-led display offers an excellent way of moving towards these goals.This book gives specific examples of display development which actively involve children, and which encourage ongoing interaction.

It also addresses some of the traditional views about display and show how changing these views can lead to display becoming more than just decorative wall covering. Issues of space and budget are also covered, making it appropriate for all practitioners within early years settings.

Special reference is made to issues encountered by pre-schools who have to pack everything up at the end of session as well as childminders who have limited display space within their own homes.''It makes the reader think not just about what to display, but why, ensuring that displays are really meaningful and relevant.

Importantly, it shows how to involve children in creating and enjoying displays so they become an integral part of learning'' - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch
