Healthy Movers in Early Years

Spring 2023 to spring 2025

Physical activity is fundamental in the early years of a child’s life. It helps children to acquire a range of new skills such as language and numeracy, develop their brains and establish the building blocks for an active and healthy life.

Youth Sport Trust will be delivering ‘Healthy Movers’ in Early Years settings between Spring 2023 and Spring 2025. This has been funded by Public Health, Milton Keynes City Council.  

Healthy Movers aims to develop Physical Literacy in children aged 2-5 and improve their school readiness and social mobility through a range of physical play and activities.

The programme consists of a day one training course, designed to help practitioners deliver fun and meaningful physical activities in their settings. This is accompanied by a comprehensive toolkit, which complements the EYFS, including a handbook, resource cards, stickers and music. The play-based activities support the development of the fundamental movement skills of locomotion, stability and object control, as well as connecting healthy habits such as healthy eating and oral health.
