Children are meeting fewer new people, seeing less of friends or family, and not attending groups for children the same age.
Three-quarters of parents are worried about the impact COVID has had on their child's early development, leaving a third fearing their children have been held back.
Kelly Philp, spokesperson for Fisher-Price Play Lab, which jointly commissioned the research along with national charity Family Action, said:"Two years on and young children have been impacted hugely by the pandemic. Fewer visits to public hot spots, spending more time at home and generally being out and about less were other issues caused by the pandemic.
The yearlong partnership will see a range of activities and resources focused on supporting young children and their parents and carers with early childhood development and reaching key milestones that may have been impacted during the pandemic. "Family Action's experience supporting families, parents and carers for the past 153 years tells us the best way to support them is to empower them with knowledge and resources.
