Helping Every Child to Thrive in the Early Years: How to Overcome the Effect of Disadvantage

Maureen Hunt

Helping Every Child to Thrive in the Early Years shows how a personalised and relationship-based approach to education and care can help overcome the ‘disadvantage gap’ in the early years. It examines the challenges that children from disadvantaged backgrounds face and looks at what settings and practitioners can do to enable every child to succeed.

Drawing on the latest research and using the insight gained from many years of working in early education the book considers the impact that disadvantage can have on children’s development and argues that building strong relationships with children and families is key to closing the gap.

Chapters cover:

The different kinds and effects of disadvantage

The importance of having a clear vision and shared values

The culture of early years and how it has shaped practice

Developing strong parent partnerships

Supporting children with additional needs

Smooth transitions

Full of practical advice and supporting anecdotes and case studies, this is essential reading for early years practitioners, setting managers and teachers working with children in Reception and KS1.
