A summary
These parent-accompanied gymnastics sessions are a chance for families to support their young people in the exploration of gymnastics equipment, bars, landing pits, beams, air track and rollers, and offer a fantastic opportunity for fun and fitness in a safe and inclusive environment with qualified coaches on hand to offer support. All staff are experienced in facilitating SEND sessions and are safeguarding trained, fully DBS checked and have lots of patience, understanding and knowledge. Our gym is located within a community centre with disability access toilets and other on-site facilities. We believe every child deserves to experience gymnastics, have fun and meet new friends in an environment where they can be themselves.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
