Information for parents
This page contains information for parents. Whether your child is signed up to a school group, or you're thinking about bringing them for the first time, this page will guide you to the next steps.
My child is coming with a group (e.g. a school or scout group)
If your child is coming to a session with a school or scout group, led by one of our coaches, then we need you to complete a Coaching Acknowledgement of Risk & Registration Form.
The form explains the risks and expectations and is required for participation.
Coaching Acknowledgement of Risk & Registration Form
If you're not sure what they've signed up for, we are a bouldering centre, which is climbing (without ropes) above crash mats.
My child is coming to a session with a private coach
Please ensure that your child is registered by completing an Acknowledgment of Risk & Registration Form.
Acknowledgment of Risk & Registration Form
Even if the session is run by a private coach, it is essential that your child checks in at reception on the day.
I'd like to bring my child climbing
We have a number of options for bringing children climbing:
Start as a family
Our family induction session will introduce you to the safety and climbing skills to get started and use the centre without a coach in future.

Start in a class
Our Rock Stars classes offer a supervised session with a climbing coach, with children of a similar age. Your child must be 3 or over and be able to follow instructions from a coach leading the session. You'll need to come along and watch too.
Supervise your child
It's possible for a competent adult to supervise children. See our Supervise novices or juniors page for more information.
Important information about supervision ratios and ages
We have two centres, with the following limits:
The Pool: minimum age 3, supervision ratio 1 competent adult to 2 novices or juniors.
The Valley: minimum age 7, supervision ratio 1 competent adult to 1 novice or junior.
