Climbing fun for little ones and their grown-ups

TINY ACADEMY

Tiny Academy is a relaxed and informal bouldering session for parents, carers and children under 5. Whether you’re a regular climber or new to the sport, this is a great way to get active while introducing little ones to climbing in a fun and supportive environment.

This isn’t an instructed session, but a friendly team member will be on hand to help things run smoothly. They can also assist with childcare, so parents can take turns climbing.

Many of our Tiny Academy parents have met great friends here, finding a supportive space to share the joys and challenges of early parenthood.

Climbing is instinctive for young children, and Tiny Academy lets them explore safely at their own pace. Whether they’re clambering on the mats, taking their first climbing steps, or just soaking up the energy, this session encourages confidence, movement, and fun.

Booking tips: If it's your first time at Tiny Academy, please come early to go through supervision and forms with staff. If you are bringing more than 1 adult and 2 children you may be asked to complete multiple forms.

No prior experience required.
Parents are responsible for their children whilst on the premises.

For new climbers.
