This EYFS Learning Environment and Resource Audit Bundle is ideal for any EYFS leader who's looking to explore how the learning environment and resources across their early years setting supports children's early development. 

The Learning Environment Audit template walks you through different reflective questions about your areas of indoor provision, outdoor provision and how you structure your spaces and resources to support development in the seven areas of learning. This allows you to identify the current strengths of your EYFS spaces and rooms, and make a plan for any areas of development. The following types of questions are included - why not see if you can answer them about your setting?

• Are items and equipment labelled? Is this in a child-friendly font? Are photographs also used?
• Is furniture adapted for any children with special educational needs and/or disabilities?
• What natural materials are available for children to interact with and observe?
• What first aid provision is in place for the outdoor space(s)?

Questions like these can help you critically reflect on your early years learning environment in order to makes changes to give your children the best possible experiences. Also included is an EYFS Resource Audit and Inventory template which covers the types of early years resources, furnishings and equipment that you might have. This can help you to identify any gaps in your resource stock as well as finding where old equipment needs replacing or updating. This template also allows you to consider different resource types, such as those that support different areas of learning, sensory and therapeutic resources, technology and digital resources, and health and safety equipment.
