Sport England, the Government agency for promoting sport and healthy activity, is considering a range of pilot options to develop manuals which give parents ideas for games and activities to help nurture their child's physical development from birth.

Play@home, which is based on an established New Zealand programme - KiwiBaby - is a partnership between Fife Council education department and Fife Primary Care NHS Trust.
