The Importance of Free Flow Play in Schools & Nurseries
Many nurseries and schools nowadays are veering towards ‘Free Flow Play’. So what exactly is Free Flow Play and how does it benefit a child? Read our small introductory guide to find out more…
What is Free Flow Play?
Free Flow Play is used with children in early years settings and allows children to move freely indoors and outdoors however they please.
Encourage by the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework, free flow play is said to provide a richer learning environment for young children.
Free Flow Play Allows Children to…
• Develop greater independence and set own rules.
• Progress at their own pace and caters to all learning styles.
• Develop decision making skills and helps practise dealing with the consequences of their choice.
• Develop an understanding of their environment and surroundings.
• Build relationships and develop creativity.
