This bachelor work deals with the phenomenon called a free play. In the theoretical part of the bachelor work there are described the perspectives of famous theoreticians on the play, the gradual development of the play by preschool child and further the benefits of the play for his complex development. The conclusion of the theoretical part deals with a free play, its specifications and its sense for preschool education. The aim of the bachelor work is to monitor what space reality for a free play in different nursery schools there is and what attitude towards the play the nursery school pedagogues adopt. In the practical part the method of observation of children was used for the research, but not only in a free play but also all day long during their stay in the nursery school. The data acquisition of individual pedagogues´ attitudes to a free play was made in the form of interviews. From the results of the observations and interviews it is obvious that the space for a free play is mainly influenced by the total time of the children´s stay in nursery schools, but even by the pedagogues´ abilities to arrange the daily routine in such a way that the free play is more included. From the research further follows that the space, which is determined for the play, depends on the children´s age
