Crosspool mums host weekday exercise classes for 2-4 year olds

Two Crosspool-based mums of pre-schoolers have set up exercise classes for 2-4 year old girls and boys to help children build confidence, develop key skills, establish healthy habits – and have lots of fun at the same time.

The Minimovez sessions take place every weekday morning in term time. Most classes are held just down the road at Tapton Masonic Hall and are taught by qualified teacher.

The aim is to promote safe, healthy and fun fitness for children. All the activities are carefully designed to encourage children to be energetic, using the full range of skills to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
