Parent & Tot

A first room rather than a first class. Hoops, ribbons, beanbags and a lot of running about, with a parent or a grandparent on the floor the whole time.
Nobody is asked to let go of a hand before they are ready.
Forty-five minutes is about as long as a two-year-old's attention lasts, and we shape the time around that. We start in a circle with a song, move through stations — balancing along a line, crawling through a tunnel, rolling a ball back and forth, waving a ribbon far too fast — and finish sitting down together. Some weeks a child joins in with everything. Some weeks they watch from your lap for half the class and then join in for the last ten minutes. Both are fine, and both count.

What's actually being learned is bigger than gymnastics. Balance, co-ordination, and the confidence to try something physical. Taking a turn. Hearing a coach's voice and following it.
Your job is simply to be there. No experience needed, no fitness required — you'll be sitting, crawling and clapping more than anything else. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and caregivers are all welcome; it doesn't have to be the same grown-up every week.

Saturday mornings at Astro, once a week, forty-five minutes.
