Outings Policy
20.0 Outings Policy
My Childminding service is underpinned by the Child Care Act 1991 (Early Years Services) Regulations 2016, Síolta the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education, 2006 and Aistear, the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework, 2009.
In line with these, I will endeavour to organise outings to promote the needs, well-being and interests of the children.
Outings offer children valuable fresh air, exercise and opportunities for the development of their physical skills as well as experiencing with their surrounding environment in the local community and to explore new situations.
All children should have access to the outdoors on a daily basis.
