Beau maybe you can help me with this - are there any guidelines for Scotland about outdoor surfaces for 'trim trail' type fixed equipment i.e. if I get a low trim trail built do I need a safety surface? Same question about wheeled toys - do we have to use them on a safety surface or is tarmac ok?
Also (sorry, nearly done :D ) any places for outdoor grants?
Thanks anyone in Scotland! Good idea this regional bit.

Have you tried the Schotish Early Years site?

if you put outdoor in the search it comes up with some interesting articles

Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.

Thank you Marion - I had forgotten about that site - used to have it on favourites but lost it when we changed provider; back on again now though :D I will re register and ask on the forum there too.

We have had a number of grants from the lottery fund and we also applied for one from Lloyds TSB.

Beau that's great thanks, interesting to see there are no legal requirements for a safety surface yet. I hate the tarmac bit but for financial reasons only half our play area was covered in a safety surface (before I came to the school). Me thinks I will be applying for lottery funding :D
Thanks,

Another consideration is the move towards removing safety surfaces
