Podcast Intro:

Welcome to another episode of For Your Ears from the Early Years! Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Josh Candy, the founder and director of Early Years PE, who is a passionate advocate for transforming physical education for our youngest learners.

With over 15 years of experience in sports coaching and a BA in Physical Education, Josh has dedicated the last seven years to revolutionising how PE is perceived and implemented in the early years. He emphasises the importance of physical literacy, recognising that foundational movement skills are just as vital as academic skills in a child’s development.

In this episode, Josh shares his journey, from what inspired him to create Early Years PE to how he’s making an impact by intertwining the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) with imaginative and fun PE sessions. He skillfully balances structured activities with opportunities for free play, helping children develop holistically while laying down a lifelong love for movement.

Please tune in to hear about Josh’s innovative approach, explore the current challenges in physical education, and learn how his methods set children up for healthier, more active lives. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or simply passionate about early childhood development, this episode is packed with valuable insights and inspiration.
