Ooh, many moons ago, Cumbria Sure Start had this initiative and visited all settings in the areas they covered.  It was quite interesting, and sparked a huge revamp in what was considered a healthy lunchbox and snacks.  I can remember being a bit sceptical that they were promoting raisins as a good snacking staple, in an area well known for poor dental health.  But it did have lots of very good aspects, and we wrote a healthy eating policy on the back of it.  

We also began doing regular yoga with the children, which was generally very popular. Tatty Bumpkin it was called, and as far as I know, it still exists.  

Sorry, brief trip down memory lane and not really very helpful to the question in hand! 😁

We used EYPP money to begin yoga in our setting. It was for a child who struggled socially to integrate into group activities. Doing yoga in a group helped her tremendously - she was able to do her 'own thing' alongside others who were all doing exactly the same thing as her. Gradually she became more able to do work in pairs. She is now thriving in school :D
