Mentoring is an important part of good, professional practice. It provides a framework of support for continuous personal and professional development and is integral to the development of quality provision within early years.

o The characteristics of a good mentor

o How mentoring supports personal and professional development

o The diversity of early years settings and professional roles

o Case studies of mentoring in practice

Chapters include a mixture of relevant theory, practical suggestions, case studies, questions for discussion, activities for personal and professional development and suggestions for further reading. There are suggestions and examples of materials that may be used, and a glossary of key terms.
