Inspiring Play Spaces

A rich and varied environment supports children’s learning and development and gives them the confidence to explore and learn in a safe and secure, challenging space.

Children’s learning experiences come from their interaction and engagement with their environment and the people around them. Children need warm trusting relationships in predictable, safe, stimulating and nurturing environments. Your environment, your set up and use of space, your choice of equipment, materials and resources all contribute to children’s learning outcomes and engagement in your curriculum.

Learning Outcomes:

• The environment is the third teacher
• Using your environment to influence engaging relationships with children and families
• Discover more ways to use sustainable resources in creating beautiful play spaces
