Policy Issues in the Early Years
Linda Miller, Denise Hevey

 'Whether seen as a market commodity, a means of democratic empowerment, or the best start for all children, early years services reflect national values and political judgements. Policy making is relevant to all who work in early childhood care and education, and this book provides excellent insights and support to help practitioners develop the analytical skills that will make them "policy literate' - Dame Gillian Pugh, Chair, National Children's Bureau

Theories and Approaches to Learning in the Early Years
Linda Miller, Linda Pound

This is a well-organised and timely overview of the ‘big picture’ in Early Childhood Education and Care theory and practice, written by champions in their fields, highly accessible and offering real food for thought in beginning to inter-connect the complexities of ECEC. An excellent introductory text ' - Pat Broadhead, Professor of Playful Learning and Leeds Metropolitan University and Chair of TACTYC

Professionalization, Leadership and Management in the Early Years
Linda Miller, Carrie Cable 

'It is refreshing to find a book that reflects the upsurge in interest in professionalism in early childhood. Not only does it celebrate the real professionalism displayed by so many practitioners it also critiques the term as used by governments. The insights provided by the different authors adds up to a fascinating volume which should form the basis for academic debate. I look forward to using it with my Early Childhood students'' - Elizabeth Coates, Associate Professor, Director: Early Childhood Studies Undergraduate Programme, University of Warwick
