Wickers holds a variety of daytime gymnastics sessions for preschool aged children. These sessions focus on a fun learning environment for the children and include a musical action warm-up, some hand apparatus work to develop co-ordination and then supervised time on all the apparatus.

The preschool sessions which are for children who are competent walkers up to 4 years and their parents/carers, are led by Carleen and Emma, two of the Clubs British Gymnastics qualified instructors. Parents/carers are encouraged to get involved with the childrens learning experience. These will be structured sessions but the children are encouraged to explore the gym for themselves, providing a great introduction to the basic skills of gymnastics including co-ordination, balance, swinging, jumping and rolling.

As the children become more independent there are other sessions, where they continue to develop their experiences but without a parent or carer, under the guidance of Emma and Carleen. These sessions are for 2 - 4 year olds, and the children continue to develop their gymnastics learning experience and basic skills in preparation for joining our Junior programme.

All children work towards the British Gymnastics Preschool Badge Scheme.

Children who attend our daytime gymnastics activities also receive a record booklet at their first session. Each week of attendance the child gets a stamp in their book.

After 17 stamps children receive a Bronze Certificate of Attendance and a Wickers Bookmark, at 32 Stamps children recieve a Silver Certificate of Attendance and a Wickers Bookmark, and at 50 stamps (a complete book) children receive a Gold Certificate of Attendance and a Wickers Bookmark. At 75 stamps children receive a Platinum Certificate of Attendance and a Bookmark and for 100 stamps the children can choose either a Wickers baseball cap or a Wickers kit bag.
