Celebrating 11 Years of Little Footy Stars Magic at Weyhill Montessori Nursery

In the heart of Haslemere, joy reverberates as Little Footy Stars proudly marks 11 years of football magic at Weyhill Montessori Nursery. A cherished snapshot captures Coach Oli, the visionary founder of Little Footy Stars, surrounded by the beaming children and Miss Karen from Weyhill Montessori Nursery.

Weyhill Montessori holds a special place in Little Footy Stars’ journey, being the first nursery client back in 2012. As the years unfolded, so did the bonds between the nursery and the football stars it nurtured.

For Coach Oli, the weekly visit at Weyhill Montessori is a highlight that fuels his passion. As the children eagerly wait at the door for his arrival, it’s evident that these moments transcend the ordinary, creating a sense of anticipation that only the magic of football can inspire.

Over the past decade, Little Footy Stars has woven a specialised football program into the fabric of Weyhill Montessori’s educational ethos. This program isn’t just about kicking a ball, it’s a gateway to holistic development, aligning seamlessly with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.

Exploring the world takes on new dimensions as the children dribble and pass, navigating the pitch like intrepid explorers. Communication and language skills flourish as they cheer, strategise, and celebrate victories, fostering a vibrant environment for verbal and non-verbal expression.

Physical development takes center stage, with each kick and sprint contributing to the children’s coordination and motor skills. As they chase after the ball, a dance of agility unfolds, a testament to the program’s dedication to nurturing healthy, active lifestyles.

In the realm of personal, social, and emotional development, Little Footy Stars becomes more than a football class—it’s a community. The children forge friendships on the pitch, learning the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and resilience.

Literacy and mathematics find unexpected allies in the world of football. Numbers and colours, Counting goals, measuring kicks, and storytelling through play all become integral components of the learning experience, seamlessly blending academics with athleticism.

Understanding the world expands beyond textbooks as the young football enthusiasts discover the global language of sport. Through a ball, they connect with the wider world, embracing diversity and unity as they learn, different cultures.

As we celebrate 11 years at Weyhill Montessori Nursery, Little Footy Stars remains dedicated to kindling the flame of passion for play and learning. In every kick, goal, and shared laughter, the spirit of Coach Oli and the magic of football endure, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of these budding stars. Here’s to another decade of goals, growth, and the enduring joy of Little Footy Stars.
