SEFDEY National Conference 2023 - Saturday 4th November
The SEFDEY Conference 2023 considered 'A celebration of Early Childhood' looking at key factors to support practitioners in today's settings. It was also an opportunity for the new SEFDEY book to be officially launched.
​
The event provided excellent opportunities for CPD for early years lecturers, HE students,
practitioners, employers, early years advisors and policymakers. The event united those with a professional and personal interest in Early Years. With key notes from Tamsin Grimmer and Sir Al Aynsley-Green who both provided inspiration for both practice and the profession.
​
Hosted once again by Coventry University, we are fortunate to have access to their state-of-the-art facilities created specifically for events such as this.

The Early Years Handbook for Students and Practitioners: An Essential Guide for the Foundation Degree and Levels 4 and 5
The Early Years Handbook for Students and Practitioners is a comprehensive and accessible course text for all degree level students undertaking programmes related to early years and childhood studies. Designed and written by the SEFDEY Professional Association and a team of new expert contributors, this text provides a balanced approach to the subjects discussed and encourages you to consider and challenge perceptions of early years and to promote good professional practice.
This edition has been extended to cover the learning and development of children from birth to 8 years and features new chapters on research, risk, neuroscience, the environment and more. Divided into four parts - The Student-Practitioner-Professional; The Learning and Development of Children 0-8; The Child, Family and Society; and The Senior Practitioner-Professional - the book covers all aspects of working with young children and engages you with theory that is explicitly linked to your practice.
In each chapter, the book seeks to help you develop your professional identity and includes:
-
Activities to help you to reflect on your own practice
-
Debates and dilemmas to promote discussion between students and colleagues
-
Real-life case studies and photographs to illustrate key points
-
Extended "reflective thinking" boxes outlining key research in the field and implications for practice
-
Suggestions for key projects to help those looking for research topics
