Letter: Heuristic play guide

Following Debbie Hemingway's letter detailing her nursery's positive experiences of heuristic play (14 June).

Readers might be interested to know that staff at our nursery havewritten a 14-page colour booklet explaining in simple terms how to startusing this brilliant activity.

We have found that treasure baskets and heuristic play can be dauntingfor new staff. There's an awful lot written about the theory behind it,but our little book has been put together to help parents and carers geton with playing.

If anyone would like a copy of the booklet, e-mail me atsharon@harpoledaynursery.co.uk. We ask for a token payment of 1.50 to help towards printing costs.

SHARON PEACH, owner, Harpole Day Nursery, Harpole, Northants.
