Movement Matters

Movement Matters has been developed by NEYASP to support the Early Years sector in understanding, valuing, and providing high-quality movement opportunities for all young children. Grounded in current research and aligned with national frameworks, this advisory document offers practical guidance and theoretical insight into the vital role movement plays in early childhood health, learning, and development.

This publication brings together expertise from across the National Early Years Active Start Partnership (NEYASP), whose partners collectively explore the breadth of early movement and its intersections with health, education, and play.
