Even for Under 5s movement is important and supports a range of outcomes, including physical and mental health, wellbeing and school readiness.
Partners in Greater Manchester and across the country are passionate about breaking down any barriers Early Years setting maybe experiencing which could stop children moving more.
To find out these barriers we are asking Early Years settings to complete this survey - www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/XXHHY7N.
A survey to find out what physical activity looks like in Early Years settings nationally. We want to hear from Early Years staff working in Reception and Nursery Classes in schools, Private, voluntary and independent (PVI) settings, Childminders, pre-schools, playgroups, children’s centres or any other similar setting. This survey is open to anyone working in an Early Years setting in England. You can be working at any level. Respondents can be apprentices or trainees.
The results will be used to help tailor support to Early Years Settings. It will also be used in conversations with strategic organisations to raise the profile of the work being delivered in Early Years and show how this is helping every child to have The Best Start in Life.
Experience, education and data garnered by the pioneering Prehab4Cancer (P4C) programme in Greater Manchester has helped to shape national guidelines on cancer care adopted by the NHS and Macmillan Cancer Support.
By understanding cultural norms, feelings of belonging, and how safe people feel in a space, we can make physical activity more inclusive for everyone.
As the NHS makes the shift from ‘hospital to community’, we must ensure that physical activity is embedded at the heart of community-centred care, says Sarah Price, Director of Public Health at NHS England.
