It must be noted that qualifications have since been reviewed and much improved but this study still holds some relevance in regards to leadership.

As early years practitioners we hold critical knowledge, insights that are often dismissed, overshadowed by policy and prescribed outcomes designed by greater powers. Yet we are the experts, working daily alongside children and families. We need to stand up and be counted, dare to be different, take control and have
confidence in who we are and what we do.
This study follows the journey of a small rural setting and its engagement as research partners in collaborative research. Designed to nurture, empower and inspire early years practitioners we consider how we best support a collaborative learning culture within an early years setting.
