earlyyearsjules Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi All, I'm going to be running some training on the Enabling Environment within a nursery setting for practitioners across my borough. I have a 'vague' summary for the day which may include: What does an enabling environment look like Routine of the day and are they necessary? snack time Vs snack bar adult led and child led activities role of the practitioner outdoor environment open-ended play If anyone has any other ideas, resources, training that I could have a look at, they would be much appreciated. I also need to build up a website, books and resources list. I have the learning through landscapes and community playthings websites so far, so this really needs some help. Thank you in advance.

jennim Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Sounds a thorough list! Why don't you take a look at the ECERS environment scale to get more ideas - it is a useful tool, just google it. We found it useful in our setting Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlyyearsjules Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thank you Jenni, a colleague in Sutton uses ECERS and it completely passed me by that it may be helpful for this. Great idea. I did get a nice response from Martine who wrote the Enabling Environments article in the articles section on this site so I'm feeling much better about the day now.

Guest Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Another way to look at enabling environment is too take a look at well being and involvement - fere leuvres from the belgium institute (not sure on spelling) this is a great tool to use in your setting we have been lucky to have had lots of training on this and it is excellent to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
