About Jolly Gymnastics
Jolly Gymnastics is a British Gymnastics affiliated club just north of Norwich in the East of England, specialising in introductory gymnastics for toddlers and young children. The club runs structured and unstructured parent-and-toddler classes, independent sessions for preschoolers and early school-age children, and inclusive SEND-friendly classes, catering for ages two to six (from walking toddlers through Reception and Year 1). Operating from two locations, Avian Dance Studios in Norwich and NR12 Fitness Gym & Studio in Hoveton, Jolly Gymnastics focuses on helping young children develop physical confidence, coordination, and a love of movement in small, friendly groups.
With a near-perfect Google rating, the club is consistently praised by parents for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and patient, enthusiastic coaching. Erin, Megan, and Kylah are frequently mentioned by name, with parents describing them as fantastic with children, incredibly patient, and full of encouragement. Classes are clearly structured to let children progress at their own pace, with plenty of praise and support along the way.
Parents note that even very young or initially hesitant children quickly settle in, gain confidence, and look forward to sessions. The club's inclusive approach extends to SEND-friendly classes designed for children aged three to eight with additional needs, so that every child can enjoy gymnastics in a safe, supportive environment. Birthday parties are another highlight.
Parents describe them as well-organised, engaging, and excellent value, with coaches keeping children active, entertained, and happy throughout. The club's wheelchair-accessible facilities and friendly team make it easy for families to visit, and the small class sizes help children feel comfortable and well looked after. Whether a toddler is taking their first wobbly steps on soft play equipment or a five-year-old is learning to forward roll and balance on beams, Jolly Gymnastics offers a nurturing introduction to kids' gymnastics in Norwich and the surrounding area.
