This provision meets requirements

Staff plan well-considered activities, inside and outside in the fresh air. Children have ample opportunities to be physically active as they play games, such as musical chairs, and run around with confidence outside. Staff support children to keep cool in the hot weather by encouraging them to drink liquids regularly and providing water play activities. For instance, children learn cause and effect as they plunge their squirters into a large bowl of cool water. They suck the water up by pulling the handle back. They excitedly release the water as they chase their friends and staff to squirt them. Staff share the children's delight as they laugh and play. Children enjoy being social and feel like they belong.
