Fusion Start

According to the World Health Organisation, 1 in 4 children aged 3-5 years old are inactive and at risk of serious developmental delays.

As a children’s physical education charity, Active Fusion fully understands the need for increasing physical activity, particularly amongst young people living in areas of disadvantage.

Active Fusion is excited to introduce Fusion Start, a brand-new initiative designed to foster the physical, emotional, and social development of children aged 3-5 across South Yorkshire. With a focus on enhancing motor skills, coordination and overall physical activity, Fusion Start offers a unique and engaging experience for young children through interactive, fun-filled sessions.

Empowering Young Minds Through Movement

Fusion Start is a carefully structured programme aimed at supporting the early developmental stages of young children. By blending movement and storytelling, we create an imaginative space where children can learn essential physical skills while nurturing creativity.

Whether it’s hopping, skipping, balancing, or following along with exciting narratives, children will be encouraged to explore their capabilities in a joyful, playful environment.

Building strong foundations

At Active Fusion, we know that the early years are key to setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits. Our professionally guided sessions are crafted to boost coordination and motor skills through fun, movement-based play, while igniting creativity by blending storytelling with physical activities.

We also create an environment that fosters social connections and emotional growth, helping children build confidence, focus and readiness for school. Fusion Start is all about giving children a strong start for a bright future!

Support for parents & educators

Fusion Start provides a vibrant support system that ensures children, families and educators truly thrive within the programme. Our dedicated staff training equips educators with the essential skills to lead dynamic and developmentally appropriate activities that inspire a love for movement.

We also host engaging parent-child activity sessions, creating opportunities for families to come together in fun, interactive exercises that strengthen their bonds while promoting an active lifestyle.

To further support healthy habits at home, we offer a wealth of resources designed to encourage ongoing physical activity and well-being.
