Trade Review"It is refreshing, the way this book (and others in the series) manages to keep elaborate and expensive resources to a minimum...The ideas are deliberately broad and intended to drive effective provision...This would make an ideal resource for any early years practitioners wanting a bank of good ideas to help promote physical development in their early years setting." Early Years Educator, October 2009
"I would recommend A 100 ideas for teaching physical development as a pick [up] and flick [through] resource for students and practitioners who are new to early years and childcare, and others who wish to expand their resource base of practical ideas for supporting the physical development of young children."
