space requirement

[Jessymax]

does this include outdoor space because I have a huge patio/garden

or shall I log that separately? x

[redtiger21]

I don't think outdoor space counts- check the eyfs, it definitely says it in there x

[BlondeMoment]

I don't think so because it can't be 'relied on' eg if it's raining etc

The EYFS states:

Premises
3.57.The premises and equipment must be organised in a way that meets the needs of
children. In registered provision, providers must meet the following indoor space
requirements

These calculations should be based on the net or usable areas of the rooms used by the children, not
including storage areas, thoroughfares, dedicated staff areas, cloakrooms, utility rooms, kitchens and toilets
