In the early years of life, children learn through exploration and interaction with the world around them. This is why the organisation of spaces and daily experiences plays a crucial role in the development of cognitive, emotional, and social skills. Living the nursery is a comprehensive guide for educators who want to transform nursery spaces into environments for growth, relationships, and discovery.

The book presents an open and flexible approach, enabling educators to design learning environments with awareness, making the most of every moment of the day —f rom arrival to care routines, from play to outdoor exploration.
