Part 3 of the Early Years Compass series, by a former UK nursery manager (14 years, SENCO & DSL). Physical development is not PE — it’s the gateway to everything, including writing. Inside the 9-page guide: the two strands and the centre-out, head-to-toe principle every planning decision should follow · a development map across five age bands with specific provision priorities · when to look closer — professional prompts for early identification including sensory processing differences · weak vs. strong observation examples focused on movement quality · a Next Steps bank by age and strand · why core stability must come before pencil grip (and what to do about it) · what inspectors’ PD questions really assess. Plus 2 printable A4 posters: “PD at a glance” and “The road to writing starts at tummy time” — the six-link chain from core strength to pencil grip that every parent and Reception teacher should see.
