Alistair was head teacher of a very successful three-form entry
infant school and Early Years Unit for 10 years. Alongside his
headship he worked an EYFS consultant working with a diverse range
of settings to help them to enhance their EYFS practice. In 2009
Alistair left headship and went into full time consultancy. He is
now the proud owner of ABC Does.
Alistair's experience and expertise has meant that he has been
invited to work with individuals, settings and Local Authorities
both Nationally and Internationally. He has written on the subject
of EYFS for a wide variety of publications. Alistair's work with
settings is based on leading by example and not just 'telling'. In
September 2010 he set up a blog where he posts examples of the work
that he does alongside activity ideas, planning formats and
policies. The blog is constantly updated with new ideas and
initiatives. You can find out more at: abcdoes.com.

This book is an essential resource for all Key Stage One teachers
as it offers insight into how early years children learn and what
strategies should continue into later years. Beyond simply
continuity, this book advocates a practical and discover based
curriculum which is so vital to the development and engagement of
young minds.

Crucially, the book focuses on the emotional well-being of the
pupils going through a transition into KS1, creating a healthy and
effective learning environment, promoting high levels of attainment
in Year 1 based on the effective principles of Early Years
practice. This book will be of use for primary school teachers,
especially those working in Key Stage 1, and school leaders who
want to support young pupils entering Year 1, looking to ensure
that the transition process goes as smoothly as possible for all
children.
