Nursery World - Editor's letter (25)

Welcome to another issue full of ideas and suggestions to help you spend your money wisely and well. If you are not already a fan of softplay you are likely to be converted by the extraordinary range and diversity of this type of equipment featured on page 14. This time we look at what is appropriate for the youngest children and the great thing is that, however small your budget, it is affordable as you can buy pieces separately and gradually build up a whole softplay area.

We also cover some classic pre-school activities - stacking (page 16) and threading (page 28) - in which generations of children have participated and that are still extremely valuable in helping to develop manipulative skills and hand/eye co-ordination.
