Screen Time for under 5s
You may have seen that there’s new government guidance on screen time for under 5s. The main message? Limit screen use wherever possible.
- For children under 2, avoid screens except for shared moments like family video calls.
- For ages 2–5, try to keep screen time to 1 hour a day or less.
When screens are used, choose slow-paced, simple content that’s easy for little brains to follow. Find more tips on healthy screen habits for under 5s here: www.beststartinlife.gov.uk/screen-time-under-5s
