Herts Mini Movers

Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership present to you Herts Mini Movers, a unique opportunity for early years educators in Hertfordshire to enrich their practice. This online resource offers a wide range of activities, guidance, and advice to encourage young children to engage in physical activity and movement play.

Funded by Hertfordshire County Council and developed by renowned physical development consultant Helen Battelley, these resources provide practical tips and easy-to-implement ideas to promote physical activity in Early Years Educational Settings.

Ensure the space is safe for children to move. Where possible when indoors movement activities are best delivered with out shoes. Be vigilant of the changes in childrens' temperatures during the activities

Research indicates that children between ages 2-5 should achieve 180 minutes (3 hours) of physical activity daily, with 60 minutes of that time being high activity/intense physical activity (MVPA - Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity).

Unfortunately, only 9% of UK children reach this level…….Our goal is to help improve this statistic.
