Do you cater for children with special needs ? We do cater for children with special needs and currently have members within the club with various special needs ranging from learning disabilities though to cerabal palsy, autism and downs. I am a fully qualified coach with BG to enable me to take children with any disability or special need at both gymnastics and trampolining On accepting a child with special needs into main stream classes I assess the needs of any child and it would be decided whether we could integrate them within the existing class. Child coach ratios would need to be adjusted to take account of any special needs children It may also be necessary for a parent or carer to be present at all times to assist the coach and the child may need a doctors certificate to confirm they can participate in activities, depending on their disability. We currently run gymnastic sessions for special needs children at Melbourne the first two Saturdays of every month from 5pm-6pm. We also have a family fun session which caters for disabilites in Braintree on a Sunday from 2pm till 3pm. We are also happy to attend any private functions or regular groups or schools or nurseries with special needs children on a regular or ad hoc basis. We have equipment in a trailer which can be transported to different venues and can be hired along We are happy to take referrals within any class for children from medical personnel and funding may be available in some cases to enable participation. We will certainly try our best to accommodate any child, taking into account individual circumstances. Can you accommodate children’s parties? Yes we are able to provide facilities at weekends or during the week for children’s parties. Parties can be held at the Village Hall in Hatfield Peverel or Melbourne Athletics Park by prior arrangement and we can accommodate up to 15 children at a time to play for an hour on all apparatus, with the session to include a coach led warm up and cool down for all children. Depending on the age of the birthday child and invited children we can run a structured class, mother and toddler session or a mixed class.

Mother and toddler sessions are for children from 6 weeksupwards and all children must be accompanied by a parent/carer at all times and the same applies to a mixed session. Parents may bring up two children at a time to mother and toddler or mixed sessions, although more children can be accommodated by prior arrangement. Parents may bring only one child per parent/carer at Gymini Fun 4 Baby parties which generally last half and hour. Do you deliver private lessons for schools or groups?

I am also available for booking on a 1:1 basis for individuals wishing to progress skills. Please ask.for prices and availability. Will you mentor coaches and can parents or volunteers help within classes?

Any individuals wishing to volunteer within classes are more than wolcome and will need to get a valid CRB cleared though Bitish Gymnastics prior to helping out where possible.
