Mini Gym

For children aged 3 and 4 years old

Mini Gym

Structured classes for children to develop their physical and social skills in a safe and fun environment.

​Our aim is to give the children a safe, enjoyable and challenging gymnastics experience. The sessions are planned on a termly basis to ensure a balanced and varied programme for the children.

​Classes are for children aged 3 and 4 years old. These sessions aim to improve their fundamental skills such as coordination, spatial awareness, balance, strength and flexibility in a progressively structured yet fun gymnastics session.

​Gymnasts work in small groups under the direction of a coach in a safe and stimulating environment which utilises a variety of equipment.

​We run a British Gymnastics Pre-School Proficiency Award Scheme and the gymnasts are routinely assessed to monitor their progress.

​Moving to school years classes from Mini Gym can be a little scary. Our 4-5pm classes are for Reception age children - 6 years old.

This helps with the transition between classes and allows some children to move to school years classes early so we can ensure classes are still fun and challenging.
