There are numerous benefits to play during early education, in fact, there are so many that you may be surprised to learn just how important play actually is for a young child’s development. Playing is essential to a child’s growth and to help you understand just how important, here are just a few benefits.

Play is one of the main ways that a child in an early years setting learns and develops. It helps a child to build their own self worth, by teaching them about their own abilities, what they can and can’t do and what they need to do in order to learn and grow. Play can help build a child’s confidence and because it’s fun, children can learn, grow and develop without even realising it.

Government guidelines state that children aged between 5 and 18 years of age should be participating in at least 60 minutes of exercise each day. With classroom work and of course, regular family routine, this can often be difficult to fit in, in one solid 60 minute period. With the help of break times throughout the school day however, and of course the right playground equipment, schools are now helping to keep children active far more than they ever have been.
