If there is a will there is a way. From my experience its more often the particular member of staff using weather as an excuse. In my present setting we are out regardless of the weather. The 2 year olds love it as much when its pouring and the are getting soaked and mucky in puddles as playing in the sand pit on a sunny day.
Have to say that most settings I have been in Scotland have their own outdoor clothes for the children which makes a big difference. My present setting have a washing machine as well so if a child's clothes do get wet through the Nursery's snow suits then they can get washed a dried by home time. Going outside can be very time consuming as getting them dressed for wet weather, or sun cream on for sunny weather all takes time.
