Can my child try a session before joining?

Trial opportunities depend on the session, space and time of year. Some one-off trial sessions may be advertised separately, especially for pre-school classes. Contact us and we can advise what is currently available.

Do you have waiting lists?

Some popular classes may have waiting lists. The best thing to do is complete the join form or contact us with your child’s age, activity choice and preferred days, then we can advise on availability.

Does my child need experience?

No. Many children start with no previous experience. Our classes are designed to help children build confidence, skills and strength safely over time.

Which class is right for my child?

If your child is very young, start with Little Explorers. For weekly skills classes, look at Active Adventurers. For SEN, Home Education or Family Fun, look at Supportive Journeys. If you are still unsure, contact us and we can help.

Are parents allowed to watch?

This depends on the session. Some Early Years sessions are parent-assisted, while other classes are independent. Parents may be able to watch from designated areas such as the café where appropriate.

Do sessions run during school holidays?

Many regular classes and daytime sessions are term time only. During school holidays, we often run Holiday Club, workshops and special events. Check the Calendar & Key Dates page for updates.

Do I need Quayside membership?

Yes, regular participants need Quayside membership. Membership is renewed annually and helps support club administration and participation.

Do I need British Gymnastics membership?

British Gymnastics membership and insurance is required where applicable. We will let you know what is needed when your child joins.

Are fees monthly or termly?

Most regular class fees are paid monthly. Pre-school sessions are usually paid termly. One-off events, Family Fun, Holiday Club and parties may have separate booking or payment arrangements.

What happens if my child misses a session?

We are unable to offer refunds or make-up sessions for sessions missed due to holidays, illness or other personal reasons.

In the case of a long-term injury or medical condition that prevents attendance, management may, at its discretion, agree to suspend your membership payments until your child is able to return.

What happens if the Club cancels a session?

The Club operates throughout the year, closing only during the Christmas period and on Bank Holidays. Our fees are calculated to reflect these planned closures, and we remain open during all other school holidays.

If we have to cancel a session due to adverse weather or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will notify families via our website, email and social media.

If your child misses a scheduled session because of such a closure, we will offer a make-up session of the same duration, subject to availability. Refunds are not available for sessions cancelled due to adverse weather or other circumstances beyond the Club’s control.

What to wear & bring

What should my child wear?

What should my child avoid wearing?

Please avoid denim, belts, zips, buttons, toggles, buckles, studs, watches, long earrings, necklaces, bangles or loose jewellery. Anything that could catch on equipment should be removed.

Does my child need socks?

Should my child bring water?

Yes, please send your child with a named water bottle, especially during warm weather or longer sessions.
