And weekend clubs are always a good way to bring structure and activity into the day too. It’s well documented that the benefits are huge – regular activities can provide new friends, skills and self-confidence that could last a lifetime. Read on to discover a whole world of possibilities for your little one.
SPRINGBOARD TO FUN!
Kindergym classes for children aged 1-4 years run throughout the week and Pinewood Gymnastics Club offer both with, and without, parent classes dependent on age. Pay as you go drop-in classes are also available. Classes consist of warm up games, gymnastic based apparatus circuits and the chance to develop the basic beginning gymnastics skills. Classes will help develop a child’s balance, co-ordination, spatial awareness and body control whilst also using colours, numbers and word association in a safe and fun purpose-built gymnastics facility. Each session brings a new adventure with the classes taking on a different theme weekly. Qualified British Gymnastics coaches are on hand to coach, help and encourage the children as they start on their gymnastics pathway. T: 01344 773237 W: www.pinewoodgymnastics.co.uk
