A Deputy Head of a Primary school said to me today:
The #earlyyears is the most important stage of #primaryeducation. If you get it wrong, you spend the next 6 years trying to put it right. If you get it right, you can spend the next 6 years building on it.
Couldn't agree more

Great oppertunity for organisations working with young people. We know from the #BeeWell data physical activity is a priority and would fit for both briefs. Do you have a idea.. Maybe activities to be active over summer? @GreaterSport @GmMoving

Our parent survey conducted by @YouGov found that only 19% of children aged 1–5 get more than 3 hours of physical activity a day.
Most children are not getting the recommended amount of daily physical activity needed to grow up healthily.
