The first of the five outcomes by which Ofsted inspects early years settings is 'Helping children to be healthy'. For children to develop and grow they need to have a healthy life-style, and settings need to ensure that they develop positive approaches to food and exercise from an early age.
This outcome is linked to:
* National Standards 7 and 8
* Birth to Three Matters - A healthy child
* Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage - Physical development.
National Standard 7 - health
* The environment is clean
* Children are aware of how to prevent the spread of infections
