A sanctuary for little people who need a little space.

A happy classroom has a place for everyone. If you’re having a bad day or you’re one of the quieter children, Little Retreat provides a space where you can gather your thoughts and take a moment for yourself.

Inspired by nesting boxes, Little Retreat is somewhere fledgling learners can build their resilience by taking some time out to gather their thoughts. With cushions and cuddly toys inside Little Retreat becomes a safe haven for children, and its open front and side gaps enable passive supervision by adults. The outside of the pitched roof is clad in LearningSurface® so children can write and draw on it, which is fun and helps build confidence and pencil (or dry-wipe marker!) control. Open gaps under the eaves mean staff can see in, children can peek out and it makes a great ‘posting slot’ for passing books, pens and toys to the occupants.
