Football has rarely been off our television screens this year, and if football fever hit your early years setting during this year's World Cup, then you might want to mark the beginning of the new football season with a visit to a local club.
Small local teams will probably be more than happy to show you around, but most league teams regularly open their doors to visitors.
The schools programmes organised by league clubs are generally aimed at older children, but their regular tours on offer to their devoted fans should prove an interesting day out for older Foundation Stage children.
The tours aim to give visitors access to the parts of the grounds that fans couldn't visit when attending a match. A tour of Everton FC (6.50 for adults and 4.50 for children) will gain you access to the trophy room, director's box, players' dressing room and a walk up the tunnel.
Rival club Liverpool FC also offers tours (adults 8.50 and children 5.50) with a similar format.
Everton's tour section says lots of pre-school settings have visited the club, but Irene Drummond, head teacher of Chatham Place Nursery School, Liverpool, warns that very young children may not fully understand what the grounds are for. Still, they may find plenty to talk about.
She and some of the children from her school were given an impromptu tour of the Everton grounds after using the club's computer suite. The highlight for the youngest, she says, was the view from the top of the grandstand - and all the steps they had to climb to reach it.
And there may be another problem. In a football-crazy city like Liverpool, which of the two local clubs do you decide to visit?
