Not Just a Nursery

Brilliant: It changed our lives' is what parents say about one neighbourhood early years centre that offers education, health and social services to all those with babies and young children. This book showcases the work of ten early years centres and the range of services they offer, including parent support, early education for babies and toddlers, adult education, nursery schooling and day care. It shows how such centres can be life-enhancing for parents and children, as well as preventing expensive educational, social and parenting failure. Not Just a Nursery is invaluable reading for nursery professionals and managers, as well as policymakers concerned with education, health and social services.
