Children’s physical development is critical to their success through life. Physical activity helps children develop coordination and control of their large and small movements. Our understanding of its importance has increased in recent years along with our understanding of its impact on children’s all-round well-being.
NDNA’s free factsheet on outdoor play looks at supporting physical development through outdoor play, planning outdoor spaces, supporting risks in play and ways that you can expand children’s physical activity and time in nature, outside of your own provision when outdoor space is limited.
