Rezensionen

This exciting book brings a new dimension to the study of leading quality services in the mixed economy of early years. It addresses how post-structuralism supports understanding of quality leadership, especially where there are external accountability structures. The reader is supported in deconstructing what is meant by quality, who defines it and enabled to consider alternative perspectives.
