As part of our nursery curriculum we provide special quality time for our little children to be engaged in heuristic play opportunities. Heuristic play is about playing with real-life, everyday objects and providing our children with an opportunity for open-ended discovery to explore the different ways to use the objects that is important in the play. Apart from the resources we have on the shelves every day, we create treasure baskets that are brought out few times a week. Playing with real life objects supports personal, social and emotional development by making choices and play freely, delighting in the exploration of very carefully chosen objects with all their senses.
