The fifth edition of Starting from the Child? reintroduces a question mark in its title. It explores whether, in light of increasing pressures from inspection, assessment and government reforms, it is still possible to plan a curriculum and pedagogy 'starting from the child'. Julie Fisher's overwhelming message is positive. Whilst acknowledging the challenges, she demonstrates in highly practical, principled and realistic ways how and why the young child must always be at the centre of good early years practice.
