Does anyone know if there are guidelines on how big an outdoor area should be?

Or do you know where I might find out?

Thank you

no guidelines for outdoor space, just regs for indoor space per child

The provider has to either offer outdoor play on the premises OR plan daily excursions

We currently don't have seperate provision and HT is planning a fenced outdoor area but the area she has in mind seems very small...I was just gathering facts really.
Thank you.
