Yeah you're on the right track with your response.

Basically the question is asking what safety considerations you need to make for each of the points listed. So, for example with gardening you would need to make sure that the tools aren't too sharp, there is enough tools for toddlers, if using compost make sure that it is safe for toddlers to touch, check the area where you are gardening for potential hazards etc. The level of supervision required for gardening is high as the toddlers need to be supervised at all times during this activity.

Hopefully this gives you an idea for the others,

Also, sun protection, hats, sunscreen, shaded areas to play in etc.
Sand - srynges, cat poo (Yuk - i know), some centres have covers, others rake theirs every morning
Play dough - putting it in their mouths.
Meal time - choking hazard, sitting in high chairs etc.
