Description
This presentation critically examines the concept of 'enabling environment' in the EYFS.Since 2012, the term enabling environment has been one of four themes of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). An enabling environment is described as a rich, stimulating and safe space offering opportunities to play, to be, to learn and to explore both physically and mentally.
The EYFS describes the environment for play and learning in terms of the following three aspects: 1) the emotional environment relating to atmosphere and feelings; 2) the outdoor environment relating to accessible spaces and activities; 3) the indoor environment relating to accessible spaces and activities.
