Keeping healthy

Exercise through play

We actively promote Exercise through Play for children of all ages. Our play equipment is not only energetic and great fun it increases activity levels creating healthier, happier children.

Recent research has found that not only are one in ten pre-school children obese, but they're spending less time playing outside. Studies carried out by the Early Learning Centre have revealed that while most parents (87 per cent) strongly believe that outdoor play and physical activities are very important to a child's development, only 11 per cent of children spend up to two hours a day during the weekend playing outside.

The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2000) found that 40 - 69% of children over the age of six spent less than the minimum of one hour a day doing Moderate Intensity Physical Activity. 'Moderate' being defined as raising the heart rate and a shortness of breath.

Make sure your children include outdoor activities in their daily routine, for better health, a great social life and lots of fun. You're also setting the foundations for your child to enjoy an active, fit adulthood.

Child psychologist Richard Woolfson comments, 'Outdoor play is as important now as it ever was, and children today can enjoy a great variety of outdoor toys, games and activities which are not only fun but also beneficial to health.'
