At Gymfinity Kids, we believe every child deserves the best start. Our Preschool Movement Programme has been specially designed to help children develop confidence, coordination and a lifelong love of being active through fun, imaginative play.
Suitable for children from walking age* to 4 years, our age-appropriate classes combine movement, gymnastics and adventure in a safe, supportive environment where every child can learn, explore and grow at their own pace.
✔ Age-specific classes
✔ Expert, DBS-checked coaches
✔ Weekly themed adventures
✔ Structured 12-week programme
✔ FREE taster sessions available
*Flagship clubs offer preschool classes for those aged walking to 4 years, and community clubs offer preschool sessions for those aged 2-4 years.
We’ve completely redesigned our Preschool Movement classes to create an exciting 12-week structured programme that develops children’s physical, social and emotional skills through imaginative play.
Each week introduces a brand-new adventure, giving children fresh challenges while building key movement foundations. Every activity is carefully adapted to suit each age group, allowing every child to progress with confidence at their own pace.
What your child will develop
Our programme focuses on three essential areas of early childhood development:
– Movement Skills
Walking, running, jumping, hopping, climbing and exploring different ways to move.
– Stability Skills
Balance, rolling, landing safely, twisting, turning and body control.
– Object Control
Throwing, catching, rolling, steering, stacking and coordinating movements.
These skills form the foundation for gymnastics, sport, school readiness and everyday confidence.
Learning is always more exciting when it’s wrapped inside a story.
Throughout the programme, children might:
Our themed sessions encourage imagination while naturally introducing movement challenges that keep children engaged and excited to return each week. Themes repeat every 12 weeks, helping children build confidence as they master new skills.
Our youngest explorers attend with a parent or carer, discovering movement through sensory play, obstacle courses and gymnastics equipment.
During this stage in your toddler’s development, they will be walking and beginning to explore their environment. So, these pre-school classes focus on floor activities with stations and obstacles for you and your little one to explore together.
Together you’ll explore, climb, balance and play while building confidence, coordination and parent-child bonding in a fun, relaxed environment.
*This age group is only available at our flagship clubs.
As confidence grows, so do the challenges.
Children begin learning to:
Parents remain on the gym floor to support their little one’s journey while coaches lead engaging activities and themed adventures.
This stage prepares children for school and future ninja or gymnastics classes.
Children work more independently while learning skills including:
Parents can relax in our viewing area while our qualified coaches guide each child through fun, structured sessions that build confidence and resilience.
We know confidence grows through celebrating success.
Our unique in-house Award Scheme recognises every milestone with certificates, stickers and medals as children progress through different movement stages.
When it’s time to move into school-age classes, we celebrate with our popular Preschool Graduation, giving every child a memorable send-off into their next Gymfinity adventure. Our Award Scheme begins for those aged 3 years.
Your child’s wellbeing is our priority.
Every Preschool class is delivered by experienced coaches who are:

Our classes vary between 1-15 in our parent and child classes to 1-6 for our preschool independent and mini ninja classes.
All of our coaches go through the Gymfinity Kids internal training programme to gain coaching qualifications that are recognised by IGA. They all attend monthly training and quarterly audits to ensure standards are met. Some of our coaches also have their own external qualifications when they arrive with us.
Safety is a big priority at Gymfinity Kids. We have specific equipment for our youngest members which allows them to have lots of fun through our sessions whilst remaining safe. Our experienced coaches are all trained, are DBS checked and we always have a member of staff trained in first aid on site along with staff that have received safeguarding training. This is overseen for the company by our Head of Health and Safety.
For our youngest Preschool members (walking – 2years) the lessons are all about learning through play. We help to develop them physically and emotionally and this is all taken at their own pace. When they move into our next class (2 – 3 years old) they will start to work towards our in-house award scheme that has been designed to focus on the following:
Read more about our in-house award scheme here.
Our Preschool classes cater for those of walking age through to 4 years old. Our youngest class is for those of walking age to 2 years and the parent must be always with them on the gym floor.
Our next Preschool class up is suitable for those aged 2 – 3 years old and again, parents must be on the gym floor with their child). Our oldest Preschool class is for those aged 3 years to 4 years. In these classes, parents do not need to be on the gym floor with their child, but they must remain in club throughout the club in case your child needs assistance with going to the toilet.
Once your child is 4 years old, they can then graduate to our beginner recreational gymnastics and ninja classes!
The children will learn cartwheels, balancing, bunny hops, half handstands, roly-poly’s, jumping, star jumps, bouncing and much more! Our classes are designed to introduce them to the gym floor and get them active in the most fun and engaging way possible. Our coaches demonstrate each exercise and circuit before assisting the children through the exercises.
They will get to use a variety of equipment across the gym floor. From the beams and bar to trampolines, the AirTrack and ninja obstacle course. They will also use bean bags, foam blocks and hula hoops to help develop their motor skills. A coach will assist them with the equipment and show them how to safely use each piece of apparatus.
Yes, if the child is 3 years old or older, parents can observe the class from our viewing area. If the child is younger than 3 years old, parents must be on the gym floor to assist their child during the session.
The costs of classes depend on the time and age group of the class. Please head to your clubs’ timetable to view the class costs.
All you need to do is navigate to your club’s timetable and select the class you wish to book your child into and follow the simple steps to enrol your child.
You can filter the timetable according to age and activity on the timetable – click on the class you’re interested in, and you will see the cost per class (classes differ in pricing according to age, level and activity). You can sign up directly from the timetable. We also offer FREE tasters which you’ll be able to book via the timetable as well.
We recommend your child wears shorts and a t-shirt, leggings and a t-shirt or a leotard. Please don’t wear loose-fitting clothing. If you decide to become a member, there is a great selection of Gymfinity activewear available to purchase at reception. Please note:
From the age of 3 years, we begin the children in our in-house Award Scheme. This is designed to help structure their learning and development according to skills learnt. As they work their way through the skills, they will go up in levels. We celebrate the children’s achievements in our Award Weeks which are held across the clubs every few months. Children are given certificates to celebrate the skills and levels they’ve achieved. Find out more about the Preschool Award Scheme here.
For children aged below 3 years, we focus on making the sessions purely focused on getting them familiar with the equipment and exercises, without a focus on moving up levels.
Once the children are old enough to leave preschool and start Big School, we host a lovely graduation ceremony in the summer to commemorate the special occasion! The children are then able to book into our beginner gymnastics or ninja classes and continue their Gymfinity Kids journey at our clubs.
If your child has not yet received the remaining level for the Preschool Award Scheme, we will automatically pass them when they moved up to their new class and issue them with any outstanding certificates from the 5 levels.
Unfortunately, we cannot reschedule any lessons that cannot be attended.
If you cannot make a series of lessons due to injury, holidays etc, you can freeze your membership for a small fee. This will keep your child’s place in class. You can freeze for a minimum of a month or a maximum of 2 months (in every 12 months). Should you wish to return to your class before your freeze has ended, you can cancel your freeze and pay a pro-rata fee.
There is no contract so you can cancel your membership at any time. However, if you cancel then wish to return, the joining fee will apply.
