Do parents stay in the class/camps?

No, classes are drop and collect. It is our policy that parents don’t stay in our class or camps as it can take away from the supportive environment we like to create. Children who are very shy can be made to feel uncomfortable when there are extra adults in the room and children who love an audience can find it hard to settle when there are extra people watching! We also have it in our child protection policy that only adults vetted by RINKA can remain in the teaching space. Our instructors are very used to helping kids settle into class and will call you if there is any issue!

What do they bring to class and what do they wear?

All they need is a drink of water and comfortable clothing! Please ensure that children wear runners and that long hair is tied back.

You will receive extra information on what they need to pack for camp days when you register for a camp.
