I.-The premises and their layout enable the implementation of the establishment or service plan referred to in article R. 2324-29.
The staff of the establishments carry out their tasks in satisfactory conditions of safety, hygiene and comfort, paying constant attention to the children and organising meals, sleep, rest, body care and play and early-learning activities in a way that is adapted to their needs.
The interior and exterior layout of the establishments allows for the inclusive care of children with disabilities or chronic illnesses.
The interior layout of the establishments also encourages the reception of holders of parental authority or legal representatives and the organisation of meetings for staff.
II-Any collective childcare establishment covered by 1° and 2° of II of Article R. 2324-17 includes one or more reception units, under the conditions set out in II of Article R. 2324-46 and III of Article R. 2324-47.
A reception unit is a space set up to offer children who are received there all the services and activities provided for in the establishment’s project in an autonomous manner.
III -Any establishment or service providing care for young children may offer semi-open-air care, allowing children to be cared for in an outdoor area and occasionally in a covered area. Details of how the outdoor area is to be used are set out in the educational project provided for in 2° of article R. 2324-29.
IV – The only requirements applicable to the premises and the interior layout of the establishment are those set out in a reference document determined by order of the Minister responsible for the family. These take particular account of the population density of the area in which the establishment or service is located and relate to the following elements:
1° Access to and safety of the establishment;
2° Interior space;
3° Specific spaces;
4° Materials and equipment.
The provisions of this IV are without prejudice to the fact that the President of the Departmental Council must take into account the installation requirements mentioned in the fourth paragraph of Article L. 2324-1, which aim to ensure that the location of the establishment or service does not pose a risk to the health and safety of the children cared for.
