Based on Elinor Goldschmied's theories on play, heuristic play is very topical and can be used with all children in the early years. This essential revised guide delivers clear and usable play scenarios for children at each stage of their development, complete with observation and assessment tips linked to the2012 Early Years Foundation Stage.
