Introduce a maximum safe temperature for Early Years settings

Many nurseries and early years settings have small windows, poor ventilation and no air conditioning. During heatwaves, indoor temperatures can become uncomfortably high, and fans alone are often not enough. Babies and children under five are particularly vulnerable to overheating and dehydration, and some are unable to communicate when they feel unwell. The Government should introduce a maximum safe indoor temperature and require action when this is exceeded.
