"This book offers a unique and critical approach to the theme of adults working in early years settings through a focus on seven key dimensions encompassed in the term 'the plural practitioner'.

The discussion is strongly underpinned by a consideration of the two important principles of child centredness and social justice.

The authors also draw on multiple perspectives, including the role of neuroscience and socio cultural perspectives, to consider who these early years professional are and the complexity of what they bring to their work."Linda Miller, Professor Emeritus, Early Years, The Open University, UKThis essential book focuses on the adult role within early years education and care.
