The 2021 EYFS Framework features some key changes compared to its predecessor, so it’s a good idea to keep in mind the importance of following the children’s lead, keeping things accessible and not losing sight of the basics.
To help you get started with all this, we’ve complied this new ‘EYFS Focus’ video series with activities focused on the seven different Areas of Learning. In this video we look at the prime area of Physical Development.
According to the framework document, “Gross and fine motor experiences develop incrementally throughout early childhood, starting with sensory explorations and the development of a child’s strength, co-ordination and positional awareness through tummy time, crawling and play movement with both objects and adults. By creating games and providing opportunities for play both indoors and outdoors, adults can support children to develop their core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination and agility.”
Within this Area of Learning, the Early Learning Goals for when children reach the end of Reception focus on ‘Gross motor skills’, and ‘Fine motor skills’.
We’re releasing a new Area of Learning video each week so make sure to check back soon!

Here at Famly we make better nursery management software. Working in close partnership with almost 1,500 childcare providers worldwide, we help streamline the tedious admin and paperwork that comes with running a busy childcare setting.
The last thing managers and staff need is software that is old-fashioned, difficult to understand, and slow. That's why we continually focus on building a system that is fast and easy-to-use, but still packed with all the features you need to save you time - and get back to what's most important - the children.

Please note: here at Famly we love sharing creative activities for you to try with the children at your setting, but you know them best. Take the time to consider adaptions you might need to make so these activities are accessible and developmentally appropriate for the children you work with. Just as you ordinarily would, conduct risk assessments for your children and your setting before undertaking new activities, and ensure you and your staff are following your own health and safety guidelines.
