JUMP START THERAPY CIC

We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive.

Our movement-based sessions combine gymnastics and play to offer fun, inclusive, and empowering experiences for children and young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Sessions are held at Leigh-on-Mendip Memorial Hall, and families from Leigh-on-Mendip, the surrounding villages, Frome, Shepton Mallet, and nearby areas of West Somerset, BANES, and Wiltshire are welcome to join.

We design every session for children and young people of all abilities, including those who are neurodiverse or have additional needs. Activities focus on building confidence, coordination, strength, and regulation, while making movement enjoyable and accessible.

What do Children and Young people gain from Our Sessions?

Each activity is carefully structured to meet individual needs, helping children and young people to develop social, sensory, and physical skills in a safe and supportive setting. Sessions support:

  • Confidence and self-esteem

  • Coordination and physical development

  • Regulation and sensory processing skills

  • Social interaction and teamwork

What our sessions are not...

Jump Start Therapy cic gymnastics groups are universal, movement-based play sessions and are not a substitute for individual occupational therapy assessment or treatment.

Children do not need a diagnosis or referral to attend. If a child requires personalised therapy input, this will be discussed separately and offered as a distinct occupational therapy service.

The sessions are not competitive or high-pressure gymnastics training. Children are not compared, and working towards medals or syllabus activities is always optional and led by the child’s interest.
