Creating and Enabling Environments – Training with Atelier Consultancy

creating enabling environments - early years education

Not all training has to happen in a classroom. Recently, our team at Atelier Consultancy led a unique Professional Development Day at Burford Garden Company,  a setting chosen with intention.

From the moment participants stepped inside, they were immersed in an environment that was calm, purposeful, and inspiring. Every detail told a story:

  • The welcoming signage that guided without overwhelming

  • The gentle fragrance that set a tranquil tone

  • The thoughtful storage – from fresh foods to art materials

  • The harmony of colour, balancing vibrancy with natural neutrals

  • The subtle use of music, creating a sense of rhythm and flow

This wasn’t just about aesthetics. It was an opportunity for participants to pause, reflect, and consider how the same principles could transform the nursery environment. By noticing how space speaks to us – how it welcomes, soothes, or inspires.  Practitioners began to reimagine how their own environments could better support children, families, and staff.

At Atelier Consultancy, we believe that environments are never just a backdrop. They are active participants in learning, communication, and wellbeing.

Are you ready to explore how the principles of enabling environments can elevate your nursery practice?

Connect with us to book your next training day with Atelier Consultancy,  let’s create spaces that truly nurture children and inspire those who care for them.
