Inspiring creativity
Making exciting spaces for children's learning and development
How can you help children’s creativity to flourish?
This section of the website will help anyone working with young children to
transform their space into somewhere which inspires children’s curiosity,
imagination and creativity. You don’t need lots of room, time or money
– all you need is some good ideas and the willingness to experiment!
Inspiring Creativity and Imagination is for everyone working with young children in parent-toddler groups, nurseries, nursery and reception classes, playgroups and children’s centres, and as childminders.
Here you will find 12 examples of real projects in early years settings. Each example includes hints about how you can use the ideas to make exciting spaces for children's learning in your own setting, linking in with the Foundation Stage Curriculum and the Birth to Three Matters Framework. Start by reading ‘Why creativity?’ – then explore the examples and be inspired…
