to expect nursery to chuck the kids outside once in a while?

dd is 2 and has been at nursery full time for nearly a year and I have no complaints except this one. Everything else is fantastic with it.

In the last 2 weeks, the weather has been glorious, only rained one day. Aside from that in itself being a miracle in Manchester, the kids at the nursery have only been out one day in that whole time. And I would bet my life that it was for no longer than an hour as I saw her inside on the cameras several times that day.

Now, I finish work on ML in a month and was reducing her down to one day as she loves it there but it is really bugging me that i will be paying £40 a day for them to sit in and draw/bake with her when I can do that at home. We live in a flat which is why I doubly want her to be outside there as there is no option at home in the evenings

Should I just pull her out and take her places myself with the money I save or say something and hope they take it on board and start taking them out (also how would you approach it? I'm a bit of a whimp)

when i was a nursery nurse the head made us take the children out every day no matter what the weather! we had parents complain that they would catch colds if out in the rain... we did have abit of cover so the nursery nurses children could huddle under there...

The owner was on the phone this morning and I was running late so didn't have time to stop and wait. I hope she is there when I pick her up.

I have been peeping on the cameras throughout the day and they have not been out again despite there not being a cloud in the sky and the thermometer in my car saying it is 16'c
They have done painting, singing, dancing and are currently huddled around the table decorating biscuits they made before sleep time. I prepered salad and thai noodles this morning before I left so that we can go and feed the ducks this afternoon so she will get at least a couple of dregs of fresh air in her lungs this week
