I was surprised to read the letter from Dr Patricia Lucas (11 November) at the University of Bristol. I work in a Bristol nursery school where children are not kept indoors when it is raining. We have a policy of all-weather play and so the children always have the choice to play outside -though they are not made to. The nursery provides wet weather gear, including waterproof cagoules, trousers and wellies, and most children do choose to go out in all weathers.
