Lessons & Booking
What age groups do you work with?
We deliver PE for children in nurseries, play groups and primary schools, covering EYFS through to Key Stage 2. Every lesson is matched to the age and stage of the children taking part.
Can we try a lesson before committing?
Yes. We offer a free taster lesson so you can see PE Monkeys in action with your children before you book anything. Get in touch and we will arrange a date that suits you.
How long is a lesson?
Lesson length is tailored to your setting and timetable. We will agree the right format and duration with you when we plan your lessons.
Do we need to provide any equipment?
No. We bring everything needed for the lesson, so there is nothing for your setting to provide.
What to Wear
What should children wear?
Comfortable clothing they can move freely in, along with suitable footwear with a good grip. For lessons held in a hall, clean indoor trainers or pumps work well.
Do you run lessons outdoors?
Yes. We deliver both indoor and outdoor lessons, so PE can go ahead whatever your space and the weather. We will plan around what works best for your setting.
Coaches & Safety
Are your coaches qualified?
Yes. Our lessons are led by experienced PE specialists who are DBS checked, so you can have complete confidence in the people working with your children.
What does PE Monkeys help children develop?
Our lessons build the fundamental movement skills that underpin a lifetime of activity, including core strength, balance, coordination, spatial awareness and agility. Just as importantly, we build confidence, teamwork and a genuine love of being active.
Are your lessons suitable for all abilities?
Yes. Activities are differentiated so that every child, whatever their ability, can take part and succeed.
Schools & Settings
Do you provide PPA cover?
Yes. Our PE specialists can cover your PPA time with fully planned, curriculum-aligned lessons, giving your staff guaranteed planning time while their class is in expert hands.
