Reviews for Good Practice in Playwork

As a longstanding practitioner of both face Playwork and now as a worker in the Policy and Standards field, I have found this to be an excellent text. So good in fact that, when it was first published, I bought a copy for all of the Play Centres that I then managed! It is an excellent work of reference for experienced practitioners and equally useful for the aspiring playleader, combining much of the information needed for underpinning knowledge in the NVQ in Playwork at Levels 2 and 3. In addition it is a fine and thought provoking read for anyone (parent, playworker, teacher or other),who wants to know about providing a quality play experience for children. * Amazon Product Review 2011 *
