Quote

The EYFS (DfES, 2007) talks about ‘reasonable risk taking’ (on practice card 1.4), a phrase I am fond of. It means that the responsible adult has recognised the risk, examined the hazards, balanced the likelihood of an accident happening against the severity of the harm that would take place if it did happen, and taken the appropriate action. What is left is an experience where the risk is reasonable for the age and stage of the children taking part in it.
