Pre-School Gymnastics

Tumble Bees Pre-School Gymnastics offers 45 minutes of structured, play-based gymnastics for confident walkers aged 15 months to 5 years. Sessions are led by a British Gymnastics Level 2 qualified coach and focus on developing social, physical, linguistic, emotional and creative skills through themed activities. Each child must be accompanied by a parent or carer throughout the class.

Classes follow a structured format beginning with exploration of apparatus including climbing frames, balance beams, bars and slides. Children participate in circle time with themed action songs, practise stretches and motor skills with hand apparatus, and learn new gymnastic skills each week. The session includes guided practice of forward rolls, backward rolls and handstands with coach assistance, learning basic gymnastic shapes such as pike, long sit, tuck, straddle and dish positions, and concludes with a cool down and relaxing songs. Children work toward an end of term certificate.

This class is designed to prepare children for transitions to Pre-School, Nursery and Reception. Sessions take place at The Hive within Woodkirk Valley Country Club on Friday mornings during term time only. Advance booking is required; drop-ins are not available.
