T2 Children and young people 's lay and learning.
When children play they, learn while doing so, and do this is in their own unique way. This essay will be exploring the links made between play and learning in Early Years Settings. The key issues that are central to this are; the importance of the outdoor environment in promoting children 's learning, the impact of intellectual development and delayed physical development in children 's play.
