We operate a drop off and pick up only. Parents or guardians are welcome to stay with their child during the initial settling-in period. To ensure a smooth transition, parents may attend up to 3 sessions with their child.
Please arrive for your lesson on time. The warm up at the beginning is essential to the class: it will help to prevent injuries and prepare your child mentally and physically for the session.
Access to Classes
Children may only access our classes if payment has been made in advance. We are unable to allow children to attend classes without payment and/or a signed permission form. This could invalidate our insurance protection policy for your child and us.
Clothing
For safety and comfort, appropriate clothing must be worn for all sessions, as detailed below.
Children can wear a leotard with leggings, tracksuit bottoms, or shorts, or a T-shirt paired with leggings, tracksuit bottoms, or shorts. Footwear should be bare feet or grip socks for safety and comfort.
Other information
Photography
Photography is NOT permitted at our classes. Once a term, we organise a Parent Watching class, giving you the opportunity to take photos of your child. Please note that sharing photos or videos containing other children is not permitted to ensure privacy for all.
Food / Drink
Food is not permitted in the hall. Children may bring a plastic water bottle into the hall. If your child would like a post school/pre-class snack we would suggest cereal bar, dried or fresh fruit. Children eating any more than this just before the class risk feeling sick or getting stomach cramp during the session.
Medical Needs
Please make sure you have added all relevant special medical information on registration. Please do email extra information to us admin@nwga.co.uk. You are required to inform us of all relevant needs when booking for a session or a term, including learning disabilities. We do our best to include ALL children in our sessions. If your child is Autistic, Epileptic or has Diabetes, you are welcome to stay for the duration of their class.
Pick up
Please pick up your children from the main door to the hall. For safety reasons we cannot let young children out of the gym without a parent or guardian to meet them. Children in Secondary School may leave by themselves with written consent from a parent.
If parents/carers arrive more than 15 minutes after the end of the session, they will be charged £5 for every 5 minutes or part thereof.
Drop Off
We encourage all parents to stop and drop. Settling in is often much easier if the parent can swiftly leave and we can get on with the coaching. The schools that we work in do not allow parents to stay and watch. An exception to this rule is made for medical / special needs (see Medical Needs). Once a term we hold an open session where parents can stay to watch their children.
