First Edition
  • Anna Salaman - Freelance Consultant
  • Suzy Tutchell - Foundation Stage Creativity and Curriculum Consultant for Windsor Maidenhead LEA


November 2005 | 128 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
`Planning Educational Visits for the Early Years is full of advice on how to make visits enjoyable learning opportunities as well as great fun. This book is ideal for early years advisors, teachers and anyone planning educational visits for children aged three to seven' - Practical Pre-School

`This book groups visits into five types of venue: museums, art galleries, the built environment, performing arts and zoos, aquariums and farms. For each there is a very brief rationale of why you should visit and details of a wide range of activities you can do before, during and after the visit. There are useful websites to help you find such amenities in your area. The activities will be familiar to experienced staff, but it is useful to have them all written down together' - Early Years Update

'Even experienced practitioners will find many useful ideas. I especially liked the chapter 'The Built Environment', with the idea of different 'trails' to shape local outings' - Nursery World

During my first year B.Ed's enhancement week they are taken on several educational visits to understand how children can learn from first-hand experiences. This book will be recommended reading for that week.
