Hi, welcome to the site.

The criteria starts with 'review' so needs you to identify the different types of resources your setting has that supports those areas of play.

For example for physical play, does your setting have ride-on toys, large balls and toys that need a clear open space to be used?

Maybe you have resources that are only used outdoors such as a play kitchen? A play area such as that would have the positive benefit of supporting a number of development areas - creative, imaginative, sensory and physical play but the weather might hinder the amount of time children can spend playing there and the might area take longer for staff to clean and prep for the next day?

Most resources will have a recommended or suggested age attached to them. Can the resources in your setting be used by children of all ages?

If you have access to a copy of this level 3 course book, page 211 has useful reading about 'enabling enviroments' and how they should be meeting the age, stage and play needs of children.

Hope this helps xx
