Planning the Pre-5 Setting: practical ideas and activities for the nursery. By Christine MacIntyre and Kim McVitty. (David Fulton, ISBN: 1843120585, Pounds 16, 020 8996 3618)
Reviewed by Helen Evans, childcare lecturer at Richmond-upon-Thames College

It will be helpful to anyone setting up a nursery from scratch but is also useful for reinforcing good practice in an established nursery and giving ideas for planning daily activities.
I found the book's colour photographs more effective than the black and white ones. It is unfortunate that on page 53 the photograph caption asks readers to note the stencils in the cupboard and they are barely visible.
