Children Experience High Quality Spaces p20 – Quality, safety & maintenance of spaces <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst we prioritise children’s safety, we embrace a positive, balanced approach to risk in children’s play. Children engage in a broad range of challenging and interesting play opportunities that support and extend their development and learning. Through these experiences children build self-confidence. They learn to assess and manage risks for themselves, developing essential skills and resilience.<\/p>\n

Staff undertake, understand and share appropriate risk assessments. We keep children accounted for by remaining vigilant to risk<\/p>\n

How do we know our setting provides a wide range of challenging outdoor play and learning experiences that promote children\u2019s health and wellbeing?<\/p>\n

Playing, learning & developing p27 – Children\u2019s Engagement <\/strong><\/p>\n

Safeguarding and child protection p67 – Empowerment of Staff and Children<\/strong><\/p>\n

We regularly provide motivating opportunities where children assess and manage appropriate risk and learn about how to keep safe. Through our responsive interactions and well-judged support, we help children build skills and learn to keep themselves safe. Children develop their resilience and their understanding of physical and emotional safety very well.<\/p>\n
