At Kixx, we believe football is more than just a game — it’s a way to help young children build confidence, develop new skills, and have fun while staying active.
That’s why our Kixx Education team delivers football in nurseries and preschools across the country. We bring engaging, age-appropriate sessions straight into your setting. Each session is designed to inspire a love of movement, teamwork, and play from the very start of a child’s learning journey.
The Benefits for Children
Our sessions are designed especially for early years, supporting the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) while giving children a chance to enjoy being active.
- Physical development: Activities support balance, coordination, and gross motor skills.
- Personal, Social, and Emotional Development: Team games encourage turn-taking, resilience, and confidence.
- Communication and Language: Sessions create natural opportunities for conversation, listening skills, and extending vocabulary.
- Inclusive opportunities: Children who may be shy or less confident in other activities often flourish in a Kixx session.
The Benefits for Your Nursery or Preschool
We know how busy early years settings can be. That’s why our approach to football in nurseries and preschools is designed to add real value to your provision — without adding to staff workload.
- Extra-Curricular Enrichment: Our sessions run seamlessly alongside your existing timetable, with no additional work for nursery managers or practitioners.
- Support for learning journals: While children enjoy their sessions, staff have valuable time to capture snapshot observations for individual learning records.
- Positive recognition from Ofsted: Nurseries promoting healthy, active lifestyles through external experts — like Kixx Education — often receive praise for enhancing physical development and wellbeing.
- Professional development: Every session also acts as a mini CPD opportunity for practitioners, who often take away new ideas and activities to use in their own practice.
Safe, Qualified Coaches
Every Kixx coach is qualified and trained in our unique ORANGE coaching philosophy. Each one also holds an Enhanced DBS check. We deliver with passion, energy, and care — giving children positive role models they can look up to.
We complete full first aid and safeguarding training, giving nurseries, preschools, and families peace of mind that children are always safe.
A Practitioner’s Perspective
One of our partner nurseries recently told us:
“The Kixx approach is brilliant for us. It gives our children a fresh, exciting experience every week and we see them developing in confidence and physical ability. As staff, it gives us a chance to observe those important little milestones, and we love seeing how engaged the children are. The fact it doesn’t add to our workload is a huge bonus too.”
