If it is your little one’s first time and they are understandably nervous, you may stay for the first five minutes of the class. However, after this time you will be invited to leave them in our capable hands as more often than not children will settle in quicker without the distraction of a parent watching. This also prevents other students from being disrupted. Please rest assured that we will of course call you if necessary.
