This book looks at the theory behind the importance of movement and: how movement-play works within settings, practical advice for implementation, how to assess your own setting, measuring development, how best to work with parents on this topic. The early years is a critical period in the establishment of physical behaviours, and physical development is one of the prime areas of the EYFS as well as other global curricula.
