Nursery World - We can manage!

The design and technology area for Cockfield Primary School nursery class has been organised to ensure the children can access the resources they need with minimum assistance from adults. When deciding how to organise the area initially, we shared ideas as a whole staff team, making a list of resources the children were likely to need and discussing how these would be arranged to ensure easy access.

We began with large items such as furniture and storage, finally deciding upon the basics: two tables suitable for four children to work at comfortably, a shelved screen to house materials, and a rack for children's finished work. In addition, we would need extras such as hooks for aprons and small storage containers. We positioned the area under a display board so that relevant children's work could be hung above it.
