"Janet Moyles's 'The Excellence of Play' has become a corner-stone of Early Childhood Education and Care. Please, please someone, make this book compulsory reading for MPs and policy wonks." Tricia David, Emeritus Professor, Canterbury Christ Church University "'The Excellence of Play' is now in its 4th edition and this is testimony to how thought-provoking an edited collection it continues to be. This much anticipated new edition does not disappoint:in summary, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of Early Childhood Studies and should be considered essential reading for students and practitioners alike." Dr. Deborah Albon, London Metropolitan University "This new edition of a classic text offers encouragement as well as information to all working with young children and their families. It provides grounded evidence for the importance of play, spelling out the complex but crucial contribution it makes to self-regulation, motivation and well-being, which are under threat in current conditions. Readers will be equipped to affirm and disseminate the importance of ensuring that future generations benefit from meaningful play." Wendy Scott, President TACTYC "The book's contributors do justice to the delights, complexities, puzzles and imponderables of play and make a powerful case against the undue "schoolification" of childhood and for the "playification" of schooling." Colin Richards HMI(retired) Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Cumbria
