You have really challenged my way of thinking and made me critically reflect on my practice, the types of play in my current program and how I can extend our children further. Thank you.

I loved the practical activities. The observation tool really helped me focus on the different types of play. I’m looking at it with fresh eyes - very useful for developing my provision. Thank you!
