Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child Outdoor space Due to the situation of the setting, it is not possible for children to have free access to the outside spaces. Planning of activities does include some outdoor play or walks around the grounds, but these activities are changed when the weather is not suitable, meaning children do not always have daily access to fresh air and exercise.
