Hi, you need to think about the layout of your setting, inside and out and the planning that goes on to add challenge & difference to the environment. What areas there are, planned and spontaneous - water, sand, dough, paint, books, role play, construction, gross motor play space - sit & rides, climbing frames, ball games, table top areas, features on walls - windows, shelving, display boards, posters, featues on ceilings - mobiles, curtain rails, toilet area - sinks, hygiene products such as soap, how hands are dried .. all these areas provide opportunities for play and learning, and supports children's development in movement & rest.

Maybe ask ..
Where do children communicate the most?
Where are they most physical?
Where are they most quiet?
Where do they go out and come in?
Where are coats stored?
Where is it lightest and darkest?
What attracts most interest?
What appears to be avoided?
