It has given me tremendous pleasure to read the papers that have been submitted for the Early Childhood Studies Degrees Network Student Publication Opportunity following the last call for papers.
Part of my pleasure came from seeing the high quality of the papers from the five students in different universities around
the country. The students have written about their research including a range of different subjects.
