Hi! We’re Penny & Rose

Welcome to our Mini Monkey Gym Classes in Norwich!

We both come from an Early Years background and are passionate about supporting parents with their baby and toddler’s development through our structured playgym and sensory programme. Our unique classes offer a completely soft playgym floor in which your baby and toddler can practice those all-important physical skills in a safe and colourful environment. From tummy time and rolling, through to crawling and cruising, to jumping and balancing we support your child at every stage of their development. Our soft playgym allows your little one to explore and gain confidence in a safe and child friendly, floor based environment and offers you the opportunity to get down to their level comfortably!

Our developmental classes are structured and each stage of our programme takes your child on a learning journey, both physically and cognitively. In each stage they will experience different physical skills, activities, songs and parachute play to engage their growing minds and bodies and support their development. We will help them master each step and the excitement comes when they are ready to move up a stage and grow with our programme, receiving their graduation certificate!

We offer a full weekly schedule of classes for Newborns to 5 years old at our 3 lovely Norwich venues, in NR4, NR1 and NR13.

We have classes for 0-10 mths, 6-18 mths, 18mths-3 yrs and 0-5 yrs. So no matter what your little ones age, or stage of development, we have the perfect class for you both to enjoy!

We run our classes on a monthly subscription, so there’s no high termly fees and you control the membership. Once you are booked into a Core Weekly class you will have access to additional Unlimited Weekly classes, Make-up classes, our Saturday Open Gym sessions and Discounted birthday parties!

Come along and join a class today and discover the Wonderful World of Mini Monkey Gym!

Membership at Mini Monkey Gym Norwich

We run an inclusive baby and toddler developmental programme at Mini Monkey Gym Norwich, for babies from birth to children aged 5 years. You are welcome to join our programme at any time during the year. FAQ’s below:

HOW DO I SIGN UP TO CLASSES?

You are welcome to enrol yourself and your child at any time during the year, spaces permitting. Classes run approx. 45 weeks a year. We are closed for bank holidays, school half terms, a short break at Easter and between Christmas and New Year’s Day. We run an optional Summer Programme every August with indoor and outdoor sessions.

We offer an easy monthly subscription of only £43 a month, please see full subscription terms and conditions. A monthly subscription covers your core weekly classes, extra unlimited weekly classes, special events, Saturday Open Gyms and summer holiday sessions. All extra sessions are easily bookable on our App. If you have siblings under 5 they can also attend classes under the same subscription, making it great value for families. Ask us for more details on family memberships and which classes would be suitable for your little ones.

HOW IS OUR PLAYGYM PERFECT FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS?

Soft equipment – We are the ONLY baby and toddler gym class in the UK that uses only soft equipment with soft floor matting. This makes our playgym floor the perfect space for your little ones to practice tummy time, rolling, crawling, pulling up, cruising, walking, climbing, balancing and jumping! Parents can be safe in the knowledge that if their baby/toddler slips or stumbles they will be falling on a soft surface and not a hard wooden one! Soft floor matting is also nice and cosy, warm and comfortable for parents whilst they are on the floor playing with their little ones! Read more about our unique concept here: The Mini Monkey Gym Difference – Mini Monkey Gym

Age specific developmental classes – each stage focuses on different skills and activities to progress and support your little one’s development. Children get to attend a class with same age peers to learn from and who are at the same physical stage of development.  For this reason, older or younger siblings may not accompany members unless attending a Family Monkey class together, with the exception of babies under 6 months, who must be in a baby sling/ car seat/pram for the duration of the class. This is so adults have their hands free to help their child safely on the equipment and with the age appropriate activities.  We have regular and seasonal Family classes for all ages that are the perfect class for mixed ages to enjoy together.

Cleaning – We like to keep our playgym and props super clean for you and your little ones, so we wipe down all main surfaces each morning and props get cleaned each session. We also do regular deep cleans too! Knowing that little ones explore everything with their mouths we feel its super important to offer a clean and safe environment with peace of mind for parents.

Parent Participation – Our classes are very much about parents/carers getting involved and joining in with their little ones. Of course, our little ones learn from us so be prepared to take the lead, be silly and have fun! Remember keep with your child and keep them safe on the playgym floor, children need to be supervised by their adult at all times.

Socks – We ask mobile children to be bare foot on the equipment to ensure safer climbing and moving around the room. For hygiene purposes we ask that adults wear socks during the class.

HOW MANY CLASSES DO I SIGN UP TO?

You sign up and enrol into 1 core class and attend that same class every week for as long as it suits your schedule. You can move classes easily, when your child is ready to move up to the next age/ability class or when your schedule changes. You are also able to make up missed sessions when you are unable to attend – see full subscription terms and conditions.

Classes are one-on-one, so one adult to each child required, except for twins or within a Family Class where mixed ages can attend. Extra classes at no extra charge available to members only, see below.

CAN I COME TO ANY MORE CLASSES DURING THE WEEK?

Yes! In addition to your weekly class, you can enjoy the following, ALL INCLUDED in your monthly membership…….

Extra classes available to book on our MMG App! There is a minimum of 2 extra spaces always available in each class, sometimes more. Members can also ‘gift’ their space if they know they will not be able to attend a class and we will add it to the app. Extra class are easily bookable yourself by using our App.

Currently Open Gym sessions run every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.
