Movement, Sound & Living Things Curriculum Framework - Physical

Movement, Sound & Living Things Curriculum – Bring curiosity, exploration and joyful learning to your setting with this thoughtfully designed curriculum framework. Created by a childminder for real early years environments, it focuses on movement, rhythm, sound and outdoor exploration, helping children build confidence, coordination and observational skills through playful, revisitable experiences.

Inside, you’ll find:

• 8 Invitations to Play – engaging, hands-on experiences for ages 1–5

• Planning Guides – clear, practical support for extending and scaffolding learning

• Differentiation Support – ideas for adapting experiences across different ages, stages and abilities

• Inclusion Strategies – accessible approaches for every child, including SEND adaptations

Stories, rhymes and sensory-rich experiences are woven throughout to support communication, early maths, creativity and sustained shared thinking. Perfect for home-based and small group settings, the framework encourages deep, meaningful play that can be revisited, adapted and followed wherever the children’s curiosity takes it.

A ready-to-use framework designed to give you inspiration and support, without taking away the freedom to follow the children.
