The licensing criteria for early learning services require that your space has ventilation that allows fresh air to circulate.

All early learning services should be well ventilated, either naturally or mechanically. Regularly refreshing the air in a space to maintain good air quality reduces the risk of transmitting airborne illnesses.

Early learning services should maximise fresh air ventilation while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature of no lower than 18 degrees Celsius.
