Review Quotes:
"This book, which provides an account of how a progressive and childcentred pedagogical tradition developed and advanced in England will be of interest to students and professionals working in early childhood education and care. It also has relevance for those interested in the notion of professional identity and how this develops in the context of communities of practice."
- Rebecca Aberton, Educational Review
