Confidently Active: Helping Children Move, Learn & Grow

What is Confidently Active?

Confidently Active is an early years movement and physical development programme created by Confident Healthy Active Me CIC (CHAM). It’s designed to help children become more active, more confident, and more physically capable — all through fun, creative and meaningful play.

Using movement, music, dance, and themed activities, we support early years settings to embed daily physical activity that develops:

  • Gross motor skills like balance, coordination, and strength

  • Self-confidence and expressive movement

  • Social-emotional learning through teamwork and imagination

  • Healthy habits that start early and last a lifetime

Whether it's crawling like bugs, dancing through the weather, or stomping like dinosaurs, children learn best when they move — and we’re here to make that happen.

Working in Partnership with Flying Start

We’re proud to be working with Flying Start settings across Wales to help their children become more physically active every day.

Together, we’re bringing Confidently Active to life through:
✅ Kinesthetic Literacy eBooks — custom stories with movement built in
✅ Dance and movement routines themed around weather, space, bugs & more
✅ Transition movement cards that turn routines into fun activity breaks
✅ Staff training on leading physical activity with confidence
✅ Parent resources to support healthy habits at home
✅ Physical development assessments built into our planning tools

Each setting receives hands-on support from our team, including:

  • A 3-month coaching programme to build staff confidence

  • Planning templates and themed activities

  • Observation tools to track children’s physical development




Positive Feedback from Our Partners

Here’s what early years settings have said about the Confidently Active programme:

🟢 Cylch Cwmnedd
“Sessions are enjoyable and genuinely support our daily work. The lanyards are a brilliant tool for behaviour management—simple, accessible, and effective.”

Why It Matters

Did you know that only 1 in 3 children under 5 in the UK are meeting the recommended 180 minutes of physical activity per day?

This isn’t just a number — it reflects real challenges for children’s:

  • Core strength and posture

  • Balance and coordination

  • Emotional regulation

  • School readiness and focus

With more time spent indoors and in front of screens, physical development is suffering — and it’s affecting confidence, communication, and wellbeing too.

But when adults lead the way — and when movement becomes part of the daily routine — children thrive. They build strength, express themselves, and learn through joyful play.

That’s what Confidently Active is all about: giving early years teams the tools, ideas, and confidence to make movement happen, every single day.
