We all know how crazy, busy and loud it can get sometimes, especially for children! It’s very important that as well as having a space to escape to indoors, they have one to go to when they are outside too. It doesn’t have to be a purpose built structure, it could just be some cushions and beanbags with a canopy. Offering a selection of soft toys, furnishings and books will promote “quiet time” and new language and vocabulary will flow freely in this communication friendly space.

In our “escape space” we have:

• A selection of fiction and non fiction books
• A range of soft toys and teddies
• Cushions
• Blankets
• Soft mats
• Large mirror

Escape spaces link in with:

PSE – Taking turns, being social, making relationships

CL – New vocabulary, talking

UW – Using stories to talk about own experiences

It’s a simple provision but it really does add that extra special mark to your setting
