Re: Outside napping
I have put children outside to sleep occassionally when it's warm and parents were happy but i wouldn't do it at this time of year. I think if that's the way you want to run your setting both parents and ofsted will want to see information based on the fact that this practice is good for the children - a bit like you would expect to get from a 'different' type of school. You must be prepared to stick to your guns though as not all parents will like it! It depends what you want your setting to be like.
On the smoking front - will the children use this room at all - if so your other half will not be able to smoke in there. I would suggest to try to gently persuade him to smoke outside as ofsted really don't like it. many parents too (including myself) would be concerned about putting their child in to a setting where they may be in contact with smoke. even if he doesn't smoke in front of them there will still be the lingering smell in the fabric of the house.
