This book is about creating meaningful learning spaces indoors. The learning environment is one of the commitments to the EYFS principle of 'Enabling Environments'. The explanation of the commitment includes the indoor and outdoor learning environments and the emotional learning environment. The learning environment significantly impacts on outcomes for children and it is therefore most important that what is provided is of a high quality and inspirational. This book explores the theory behind the commitment but also gives very practical advice on how to ensure that the indoor environment is planned to inspire, challenge and capture the imagination of every child.
