FAQ

When booking do I need to pay for the adult?

No, please only book and pay for the child(ren) who are attending the session.
Is there parking at your venue?

Yes we have parking outside of our venue. However, on busy days it does fill up very quickly. There is also communal parking available on the right hand side as you enter the estate. Please ensure you only park in front of our units or in the communal parking and not in front of any other businesses. If everywhere is full please double park in front of our units as parents will leave at the same time.
My child isn't quite walking yet, can I still come along?

Yes! the sessions are suitable still for those that aren't quite walking, although you may have to help them more over all of the stations and obstacles. If your child is under 10 months old please take a look at our Bunny Hoppers Babies session!
When can my child join the independent class?

If your child is turning 3 soon it can be beneficial for them to join one of our independent sessions instead of coming to the parent/toddler classes. Please sign them up to the waiting list for one of our classes.
Why is it only 1 adult per child?

Although we have a lot of space in the gym if every child is accompanied by two adults the venue gets very busy. If you do want to bring 2 adults to the session please send us an email so we can monitor the number of people attending.
Can I bring my baby in a carrier?

You are more than welcome to bring along any younger siblings who are still in a carrier. We have space in the gym for them to either sleep in their seat/pram or you are welcome to carry them in a sling. You do not need to pay for them if they aren't taking part!
Is there parking at your venue?

Yes we have parking outside of our venue. However, on busy days it does fill up very quickly. There is also communal parking available on the right hand side as you enter the estate. Please ensure you only park in front of our units or in the communal parking and not in front of any other businesses. If everywhere is full please double park in front of our units as parents will leave at the same time.
Do you offer a trial session for your independent classes?

Yes - all children are offered a one off pay as you go session to see if they enjoy the session. This can be paid by cash or card at your first session. You will then receive an email asking if you would like to sign up for the rest of the half term.
Does my child need to wear specialist gymnastics clothing?

No, normal clothes are fine to wear as long as they don't have belt, buckles or zips. We recommend wearing leggings, shorts, tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt or jumper. We also have a range of Bunny Hoppers clothing available to purchase at the centre.
My child isn't 3, how early do I need to sign them up to get a place?

As a gymnastics club we have certain child to gymnastics coach ratios to stick to. Our classes can fill up very quickly, so we recommend signing your child up at least 1 term before your child turns 3. However, this won't guarantee your child a place as we will still need spaces available in our classes.
It will be the first time I have left my child in a class and I'm not sure if they will settle.

We have very experienced coaches who have dealt with a huge range of children. We often have children who are unsure to start with and we will work with the parents to ensure they settle ok. We will encourage parents to 'step back' and watch from either inside the gym or upstairs in our viewing area.
Do I need to stay onsite during my child's session?

Yes. Because of the child's age we require all parents to stay onsite throughout your child's session. Children of this age often need help going to the toilet and our coaches are unable to help your child do this. We have a viewing area upstairs and a coach will call you if your child needs the toilet.
Why does my child need British Gymnastics insurance?

As with all sports there is an inherent risk in participating. British Gymnastics insurance provides comprehensive insurance for your child in case of an injury. For more information please visit the British Gymnastics website.
Will my child get a place in the after school gymnastics sessions with Loughborough Gymnastics Academy when they go to school?

We work very closely with Loughborough Gymnastics Academy to try and ensure that all Bunny Hoppers gymnasts get a space in their after school gymnastics sessions. However, there are limited spaces and we cannot 100% guarantee an immediate September start. We will liaise with all parents about this in the summer term.
