About this Event

What to expect from the session:

This 1-hour course helps children develop the skills and confidence to ride a bike independently. Parents and carers must attend to support their child throughout the session.

Every child learns at their own pace, we find some children pick up the skills in minutes and others may need a little more time, and that's completely normal. By the end of the course, you'll have the knowledge and techniques to continue supporting your child's learning at home.
