Dinosaurs and castles in vision of perfect playschool

PLAYING hide-and-seek with dinosaurs and having a castle with stairs to the clouds were among the imaginative ideas dreamed up by youngsters to make the perfect playschool.

More than 600 children aged three to five were asked if they had a magic wand what their vision for early care and education would be.

Ciairin de Buis, director of the Start Strong project, said that despite some of the more colourful ideas, the replies could form future policy.
