Gym Jo (Joanne Dicken) is a British Gymnastics Senior Level Coach, who specialises in Early Years Gymnastics. Join her for a fun filled Physical Development Session where Childminders and Children learn why physical development is so important in the early years?
From rolling and crawling to running, jumping and climbing, physical development lays the foundations for lifelong learning.
Research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) Early Years Evidence Store shows that supporting physical development helps children develop movement skills and may also have a positive impact on their thinking and learning. Regular opportunities for active play, movement, balance and coordination help children build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
