General Terms & Conditions

The one-time registration fee is €40 for the whole family. As a member of The Little Gym, your family is entitled to discounts on Birthday Parties, Holiday and Summer Camps, and special events and you will have access to priority enrolment in our programmes. Fees must be paid prior to enrolment. Registration fees are non-refundable and will not be prorated.

Of course you can join our classes at any time, depending on availability. In this case, the tuition fee for the current month is pro rated. Registration for your child in a class, camp or for a birthday party is guaranteed as soon as payment has been received. As a member, you receive preferential rights when registering for classes in the new school year over non-members.

Our classes take place also during school holidays, except for 3 weeks in August and 2 weeks in december/january (yearly closure dates).

Classes cancelled due to illness or holidays may be made up according to availability. Notification must be received no later than 10 a.m. on the day of the class for you to be entitled to a make-up class. Please drop us an email or leave a message on our answering machine. Make up classes can only be scheduled during the active contract period. No classes take place on public holidays.

Tuiton is paid in full for 12 months of the year for the duration of the contract and is not refundable. Should costs rise drastically, tuiton might be increased max. once every 24 months during the contract.

The Little Gym Köln reserves the right to cancel classes, camps or birthday parties due to the occurrence of an unforeseeable event i.e. government lockdown, restricted access to The Little Gym facility etc. In case such a Force Majeure occurs, we will replace face to face activities normally taking place at the gym with an online offering. If The Little Gym activities move online our standard terms and conditions apply.

Clothing

Children should wear comfortable clothing and must be barefoot to maximise safety and freedom. Jewellery, food and chewing gum are not permitted in the gym. Adults entering the gym are asked to remove their shoes (adults may wear socks). The Little Gym is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Behavioural Issues

If a child is being disruptive, destructive, or dangerous to themselves, other children, or staff members during class or special events, we will make every effort to work with parents and the child in question to resolve this behaviour. If the behaviour persists or other undesired behaviours develop, the child in question will be asked to take a break from the class or event.

Photo and video recording

In the interest of child protection and with respect for your fellow members’ privacy, we must insist that anyone wishing to take photographs or videos of their children in our facility gain permission from all of the other parents/caretakers present in the facility.

Safety Responsibilities

We do everything to offer your family the highest standard of safety and hygiene. But that’s not all: Our gym equipment, mats, floors and furniture meet the latest safety standards. Parents, siblings and guests are always welcome to observe classes from the lobby. We ask the parents or guardians to keep an eye on the children in the lobby and to assume responsibility for the duty of supervision accordingly. The contractual partner is asked not to use the gym facilities without an instructor and also to follow all instructions from the employees of The Little Gym and to comply with the house rules. Siblings are not permitted to participate in class activities unless they are enrolled in that class.
