New screen time guidance for early years children

Dad and child The DfE has released updated national guidance on screen time for children aged 0–5. Key points include:

  • Under 2s: avoid or limit screen time
  • Ages 2–5: no more than 1 hour per day, ideally co‑viewed with an adult

Why this matters: Lewisham practitioners can use this guidance to support conversations with parents and to review digital use in settings.
