Concept

Leaps and Bounds was conceived to fulfil a demand from both Pre-school settings and Parents for a movement and physical development programme.

Researched and developed over a two year period, with expert Patricia Maude MBE, Homerton College, Cambridge University.  Leaps and Bounds underpins the framework of the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage (Q.C.A., DCSF) and Birth to 3 matters (SureStart).

It is a progressive physical and movement programme for children from walking up to five years. Designed to complement the indoor and outdoor physical activities currently provided in Pre-School Settings.

Children are encouraged through a sequence of tasks to develop skills including: locomotion, agility, balance, climbing, co-ordination and language development through the use of action songs and rhymes.

In 2006 Leaps and Bounds was awarded a Kite Mark by Professional Development Board of Physical Education (PDB).  This kitemark is a quality endorsement recognised by DCSF.
