Small child loves getting left on heath returning to find space to learn (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schoolroom

'space to learn' is the definition.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for schoolroom that I've seen before include "Place for classes" , "place of education" , "Place in which we learn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
