She has extensive experience of the early years field and provides training for a wide variety of audiences including teachers, early years and childcare practitioners, early years professionals and multiagency children’s centre staff teams.
Together with Linda Thornton, Pat edited Early Years Update newsletter and has co-authored many books on early years learning and development.
