This webinar, delivered by Helen Battelley MA, explored key movement milestones & practical strategies to support confident, active learners in EYFS. Perfect for nursery & reception staff!
As early years educators, we are at the forefront of building strong physical foundations that support not just movement, but confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love of being active. This recorded session explores how early physical development naturally progresses into more structured physical education (PE), supporting fundamental movement skills.
This includes
- Key movement milestones,
- Developmental readiness, and
How to create purposeful movement transitions from play-based physical activity to more formal PE in the early years and beyond.
You’ll leave with practical strategies, activity ideas, and a deeper understanding of how to support every child’s movement journey—from crawling and climbing to catching and kicking.
