We have developed a new resource on behalf of the Scottish Government.  The resource provides addition detail about indoor/outdoor settings to help with early learning and childcare expansion plans and to assist those looking to make improvements to their setting.  The resource is a tool to be used in conjunction with Space to Grow, Out to Play, My World Outdoors and the Practice Note: Early Learning and Childcare: Delivering High Quality Play and Learning Environments Outdoors.  

The focus of the resource is on quality and aims to maximise the positive experiences for children by encouraging providers to think innovatively and flexibly about design and about the impact the environment can have on the quality of a child’s care, development, learning, health and wellbeing.    

The resource is now available on the Care Inspectorate Hub

Every early learning and childcare and out of school care setting will be sent a published copy of the resource.
