I have used her book as a nursery nurse student and when at university part of my course and will still continue to use her book.

A must read/buy for everyone. You will not need another book.

This book is a must have if you need childrens milestones upto the age of five, an excellent book for parents and people studying childcare in any form. Its set out really clearly and is very informative.

I first read this book whilst doing my NNEB at college. As a nursery nurse this book was invaluable to help with assessing child development, but now as a mother I feel it would probably worry me as if my son didn't reach the goal by the date set by Mary Sheridan, you start worrying! Overall, although informative, I feel this is a book for professional child-carers more than parents.
