Tester's report
'I think these would be an asset in any nursery as they offer plenty of opportunities for creative play and expression. They not only provide hours of fun but also encourage interaction between the children, developing their vocabulary and social skills. They really enjoyed mixing and matching the furniture and it was good to see them working together and helping each other out. The Playscene pieces seem very durable, although as some of them are rather small they can be quite easy to mislay. Because of these small pieces they should be kept well out of the way of younger children! The most suitable age range is three to four years.'
