Physical Education for Early Years
The Early Years PE & Movement Toolkit!
WHO WE ARE?
At PE4EY, we’re on a mission to turn teachers and early years practitioners into superheroes of physical education and movement!
Our interactive online platform is bursting with energy, creativity, and ready-to-use resources that make getting children active not just simple, but seriously fun! From story-themed PE adventures to skill-based movement games, everything we create is designed to help children fall in love with being active from the very start.
We believe every child deserves the best possible start to their physical education journey, building confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love of movement. That’s why we’ve crafted our resource platform that’s fully EYFS curriculum-linked, easy to deliver, and packed with imagination.
So, whether you’re a teacher looking to boost your PE confidence or an EYFS practitioner ready to bring movement magic into your classroom — we’re here to support you every step of the way. Together, let’s make physical education fun, purposeful, and unforgettable!
