Our Little Monkeys sessions follow the Wild Climbers syllabus to gently introduce younger climbers to the indoor climbing environment. Through fun games and activities led by our enthusiastic instructors, kids build confidence, develop movement skills, and begin a lifelong journey in sport and physical activity.
Climbing is a brilliant way to boost coordination, problem-solving, and self-esteem, both on and off the wall. These weekly sessions create a clear pathway into more advanced climbing activities as your child grows.
Spaces are limited and in high demand. Your monthly subscription secures a regular weekly slot in your chosen session.

NICAS WILD CLIMBERS:
Wild Climbers is a fun, game-based syllabus designed to introduce young children to the core skills of climbing and bouldering in a safe and engaging way. It focuses on six key areas: agility, balance, coordination, teamwork, focus, and communication.
Children work through three progressive levels using a colourful logbook, earning stickers and certificates as they go. Many of the activities take place at ground level, helping kids build confidence and learn key movement patterns before progressing to the climbing wall.
Our experienced instructors prioritise safety while creating a fun, friendly environment where kids can thrive. Climbing comes naturally to little ones—and we love watching them learn, grow, and quite literally climb the walls!
Each child receives a NICAS Wild Climbers logbook when they join. If lost, replacements can be purchased at cost.
NICAS Climbing is a UK-wide scheme designed to promote climbing development and accredit individual achievement on artificial climbing structures. They’re a starting point for people wishing to take up climbing and mountaineering, from novice to experienced, starting from age 7.
NICAS Climbing has five progressive levels of award for complete novices to expert climbers. The scheme is split into two parts: Part one contains Levels 1 to 3 and part two contains Levels 4 and 5. We use the levels as a basis for our sessions, not a tick-sheet – it may take longer to complete than the ‘NICAS minimum time’ as skills and techniques are worked on fully and to a high standard.
Our clubs are split into age and level, with Boulder Monkeys for ages 7-10 and Boulder Juniors for ages 11+, in either a level 1&2 club or level 3.
NICAS registration and logbooks are strongly recommended for our youth clubs, but are optional. Please speak to a receptionist to purchase your NICAS logbook and register for the scheme.
Billing
Your monthly payment reserves your child’s space on their club. We run billing on the 1st of the month or shortly after. You will be billed in full for your child’s club each month, regardless of how many sessions there are in the month. This means that some months you will be able to attend a session every week, however club sessions do not run outside of term times – see our term timetable tab for our term dates. Please note that weekend clubs average 1 session per term less than some other clubs, but are charged at the same price due to their popularity. You child is welcome to start at any point during the month, but it will be billed in full – so it may be prudent to wait a week until the next month for the best value!
Cancellations
If you wish to leave the clubs you must let us know your leaving date no later than 2 weeks before you wish to leave. Your child is welcome to stay until the very end of their last month. You will not receive a partial refund if you stop attending part way through a month, or if there are weeks without sessions. It might be good to see which month is the best to finish on to make the most of your monthly bill.
You can cancel from the Cancellation page online.
Injuries, Holidays & Missed Sessions
Unfortunately, we are unable to freeze or refund payments if your child is unable to attend their club due to being injured, sick, going on holiday or being absent. Your monthly payment reserves your child’s space in their club. We will not provide partial refunds for weeks where climbing is missed due to injury, personal or national holidays or any other reason.
