Physical Development in Nursery

Physical development is very important in the Early Years as it enhances concentration, motivation, learning and well-being.  In Nursery we provide many opportunities for physical play to promote fine and gross motor skills and hand / eye coordination.  Our children enjoy physical play, indoors and outdoors. We are also learning social skills as we cooperate with one another and show consideration for one another.
