Abstract / Description of output

This chapter brings together analysis and commentary by authors whose professional practice and research are located in the three countries of Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales, respectively. Each country has its own statutory framework and curriculum guidance for the early childhood education and care of its youngest citizens. The authors identify aspects of these policy documents that chime with Froebelian traditions and which draw implicitly or overtly on Froebel’s legacy.
