Little Learners, Big Steps: Holiday Camps That Build School Confidence from Age 3

Little Learners, Big Steps: Holiday Camps That Build School Confidence from Age 3

If you’re looking for a fun, flexible, and enriching way to keep your 3-5 year old active over the holidays, our Holiday Camps at The Little Gym are just the thing. These action-packed half-day or full-day sessions blend gymnastics, imaginative play, and constructive learning in a way that’s joyful and genuinely meaningful for your child.

But what truly sets us apart? Our Holiday Camps don’t just keep kids busy – they’re designed with purpose. Everything we do supports whole-child development through gymnastics movement and creative exploration, and for our younger campers, much of this is grounded in the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

For Ages 3–5: Play, Progress, and Purpose

Designed specifically for pre-schoolers, our camps offer a rich mix of physical activity and imaginative learning and while they’re having the time of their lives, they’re also building real skills.

EYFS in Action – Why It Matters

We know that the early years are a crucial time for development. That’s why our camp activities are thoughtfully designed to support the seven key areas of learning and development from the EYFS framework:

1. Physical Development – At the heart of every session is movement! From core strength to coordination and balance, our gymnastics-based adventures help children develop gross and fine motor skills in a safe, structured way.

2. Communication and Language – Through songs, stories, group games and imaginative play, we help children grow their vocabulary, follow instructions, and build listening and speaking skills.

3. Personal, Social and Emotional Development – Our camps are full of opportunities to make friends, take turns, share space, and gain independence. Children are encouraged to express themselves confidently in a nurturing environment.

4. Expressive Arts and Design – From craft projects to role play and creative storytelling, each camp includes a time for children to explore their imagination and create something they’re proud of.

5. Mathematics – We sneak in early maths through counting games, measuring challenges, puzzles, and STEM-based crafts that get little brains thinking.

6. Understanding the World – Whether we’re exploring weather, animals, or real-world problem solving, our themed activities both in the gym and in the play-studio introduce children to the wider world in ways they can relate to.

7. Literacy – Storytelling, rhymes, name-writing, and letter play pop up in our sessions too, helping to lay the foundations for reading and writing in a pressure-free, playful way.
