Description

At Howard Street nursery, children play inside and outside with various toys, objects and playground equipment. Children play outside on a climbing frame, seesaw, trampoline and tyre swing, and with coloured blocks, rope, glockenspiels, a sand pit, water trough, toy cars and go-carts, barrels and wooden boxes. They assist a gardener. Children play inside with coloured blocks, counters, play dough and flash cards, and dance around. Others play in the rain in a waterlogged sandpit, and with bubbles. Children look at rocks, insects in aquariums, coral, shells and dried star fish.

This film, along with thousands of others from across the country, can also be viewed online as part of BFI: Britain on Film - player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/
