Hi, depending on the type of play environment, the age of the children and level of supervision you can see how the youngest gains greater mobility, moving from sitting to crawling, walking, climbing, throwing, running and their natural curiosity that takes them to a variety of places that pose a hazard to their health, safety and security ie. they may get hurt - plug sockets, doors & drawers on runners or hinges, unkept spaces, litter, steps, ladders, or find themselves in a position that they are unprotected or vulnerable eg. find themselves alone by a road, near streams & rivers. Settings put arrangements in place to protect or safeguard the children in that environment.
eg.
Safe storage of chemicals that prevents children acccessing material that could poison, choke, burn
Allergies, dietary needs, sensitivites as children grow their experiences with food also grows. Ensuring information is shared between setting and home keeps children safe in their play with resources & during mealtimes.
Security fitments - draw & cupboard locks, socket covers, checks for trailing wires, non-slip rugs, stair guards, intercoms, entry lock systems, procedures for the event of fire/evacuation - signage & drills
Supervision that ensures a balanced approach to risk for children as they grow & develop around bodies of water, climbing frames, scissors, knives, chopsticks & sckewers, woodworking tools

Your ey's framework requirements for welfare & safeguarding or values & principles consider children's development as a way to plan a safe environment for each child that will use it.
