The Early Years Physical Activity Centre at the Manor School in Mansfield Woodhouse is providing a full structured physical programme for children from three months to five years old, including dance, basic gymnastics and Tae Kwon Do.

The £270,000 centre is the first of its kind in the country and has been funded by the Active England initiative. The aim is to encourage children to develop a healthy lifestyle from an early age, hopefully leading them into an active adulthood.
