Question 5

Do the children go outside in all weathers?

Accepted Answer

The children will go outside in all weathers. We find that as long as they have good outdoor
clothing, are out of any biting wind and that their hands are warm, they are happy to play
outdoors regardless of the weather.

On cold days we will often have a campfire during snack time or warm up with a hot
chocolate when we go back inside.

Question 6

Are their outdoor toileting facilities?

Accepted Answer

We have a specific area in the forest where we have 3 huts, which offer shelter and privacy
for toileting. Children not used to toileting outside quickly adapt and staff are on hand to
assist as needed. For children still in nappies, we have a special nappy changing area within
the toilet huts. We also provide warm water and soap for hand washing after toileting.

Question 7

How often are the children outdoors?

Accepted Answer

We have an amazing indoor area within the church as well the forest and a cabin which we
use as an outdoor classroom. The children use all 3 areas on a daily basis.
