Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child Outdoor space Children relish the opportunity to choose where they would like to play, either inside or outside, and engage well with their chosen activities. Children spend a lot of time outdoors, exploring and digging in the mud kitchen, playing in the water tray and rolling cars down a ramp. This and other activities help them to develop good physical skills in the carefully planned and well-resourced outdoor space.
