Because of Piaget’s work, Early Years Settings now attempt to provide a more hands on approach and Early Years Practitioners work together to produce relevant tasks for children and young people. Piaget’s work has influenced management approaches to children’s behaviour, as he looked at children’s moral development from the individual child’s view rather than from the adults view. In common Early Years Practice it is seen that having a safe and comfortable environment lets the children explore through free play sessions. Free play sessions allow the children to re-enact and imagine real life situations and this all links back to Piagets work with children. It is also seen that the practitioner is to provide opportunities for play and learning but to ensure that the activities are not adult-led.
