This practical guide has everything you need to establish Continuous Provision in your own setting. It’s easy to follow, helps practitioners to understand why it is so important for our children and provides practical steps to ensure you can start from where you are and adapt to your own context. If you need help to create or reform your learning environment- this guide is the perfect place to start. “

Alison Heale
Headteacher at Ysgol y Hafod Johnstown, Wrexham

“This guide from Early Excellence offers an insight into the importance of continuous provision and a reminder of how valuable the role of the adult is. It’s definitely changed my practice for the better after over 20 years of being in the childcare profession and made me consider how children access resources to support deep embedded learning”

Jo Berry
EYFS practitioner at Thrussington CE Primary

“As a student teacher, I have begun to delve into the world of continuous provision in an early years environment. This book not only strengthened my understanding but also gave a guide and tool to use and apply in my own setting. For any young teacher, beginning their early years journey, this book provides an invaluable reference of how we can make the early years curriculum the very best for the future generations”

Eleanor Richardson
Education with QTS student at University of Winchester

“This guide is brilliant for schools who are experienced with KS1 continuous provision or are just starting their journey. We have been doing Continuous Provision for the past 5 years and it gave us new insight into our provision so we can continue to develop and improve it. Our ECT found it particularly helpful, I haven’t been able to get the guide back from her!”
