Children as young as three can express their views and interests about their playgroup experience if a range of appropriate media are used; Young Children appear to be better at voicing their likes rather than their dislikes; The favourite areas of play most photographed by the children were those that allowed the children to use their own initiative, to use their imagination and to be physically active; Areas where the children had to sit for long periods of time were photographed by many as areas of dislike; The most popular area of play for the females appeared to be the home corner; The most popular area of play for the males tended to be the construction / table top area and the sand tray; Children appear to be more content when they have attractive resources and materials to play with, there is good interaction on the part of the staff and the environment is well organised.
