Pre-school gymnastics
Gymfants is a structured pre-school gymnastics programme for children under 5 years old.
Its aim is to develop children’s balance and coordination, spatial awareness, flexibility and movement through physical gymnastics activity that is fun, exploratory and challenging.
Our gymnasium is equipped with mini apparatus tailored specifically for pre-school children and includes bars, rings, vaulting stations, brightly coloured foam blocks, beams and fun climbing equipment.
Each week is themed with activities such as rolling, jumping, hanging, swinging and climbing. Children within this programme work towards a specially designed badge scheme.
All courses are run by our fully qualified British Gymnastics Instructors.
