CAN YOUR SETTING BENEFIT FROM OUR FIT FOR £1 SCHEME?

‘FIT FOR A QUID’ is our brand new Physical Activity Programme which can be available to your setting for as little as £1.00 per child!

As an Early Years provider Little Athletes wants to tackle childhood obesity and as such our FIT FOR A POUND scheme has been created. Our sessions are much more than just physical activity, and we share the key messages that make a positive long-term impact for our children’s future in a fun way and engaging way.

We want to ensure that all children across the country have access to some sort of physical activity on a weekly basis, and we will do all we can to ensure that all Early Years settings are able to access our provision through our new Fit for a Quid scheme.

The latest Government data shows the number of obese children in reception year has RISEN for the second consecutive year to 9.6% in the 2017 to 2018 school year, this is up from 9.3% in 2016 to 2017. Statistics show that children with excess weight are more likely to suffer from poor self-esteem, bullying and stigma in childhood. If this isn’t addressed now then children are more likely to be obese as adults and increase their risk of preventable illness including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.

Throughout all of our physical activity programmes including Fit for a Quid we have ensured that we have linked every aspect into the EYFS as follows:
