The Assembly's play policy implementation group will present its findings today (10 November) when a major consultation on its recommendations will be launched.
The group is calling for greater recognition for the importance of play at a national and local level. It wants better training on play for teachers and nursery nurses and more funding to boost play projects and facilities.
