Be on time   - We understand how parenting can sometimes feel like a bit of a balancing act, so we kindly   ask all our parents to try their best to arrive 5 minutes before their child’s class begins.   Language   - We want to make sure our clubs are family friendly, so we ask all our parents to be mindful   of the language they use whilst in the club.   Don’t distract   - Try your best not to distract any child before they perform a move. We want to keep all          children safe whilst they are training, so it’s important they have time to focus on learning      and have fun mastering new “superhero flying tricks”.   Keep us in the loop   - We want your child to get the most out of their tailored gymnastics or ninja classes. So, we    ask all our members to keep us in the loop with any changes. If your child is going to miss    their class due to illness, injury or holiday let us know.   Encourage   - Not only do we want to create great gymnasts and ninjas, we also want to create great s       portsmanship. We ask all members to set a good example by encouraging not only their       own child but others too.   Stay safe   - We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all our members.
