One of the four principles of the EYFS is the importance of the environment in 'supporting and extending children's development and learning'. Creating the right environment, both inside and out, is key to the success of any early years setting and this book shows you how to do it!

This book explores the importance of the environment in the Early Years and its effect on learning and emotional development. It provides examples of excellent settings for learning as well as lots of ideas for organisation, planning, displays and making changes. It will inspire practitioners with its full colour photos and practical, easy to follow activities!
