We were thrilled to read the article about Susan Isaacs ('Enquiring minds', 20 January), as a nursery school started by Dr Isaacs in 1928 with funding from an American benefactor called Natalie Davies, whose son was one of our first pupils.
Dr Isaacs' research was based not only upon Malting House School, but also Chelsea Open Air, which was apparently her research base while at what was to become the Institute of Education. Strangely, we have Nathan Isaacs's death certificate.
I have learned more about Dr Isaacs from Professor Tina Bruce, who inspired me to read more and research about Susan Isaacs and her work at Chelsea Open Air.
