I think Clarence is refering to the 'Playgroup movement' back in the 1960.s Intitated by Tutaev ( or so i've read), it was becoming recognised that play aided development and the limited services around encouraged parents (particular mothers) to start playgroups, a move welcomed by government, a low cost substitue for nursery education.
Frobel, of course, was and still is recognised for the influences re Kindergartens.
Nursery education in the UK (particular Scotland) was developed in 1816 by Robert Owen.
