🤸‍♀️ Looking for a gymnastics program with quality coaching, real skill development and serious convenience?

The award winning Macquarie University Gymnastics program at Macquarie University Sport & Aquatic Centre in North Ryde runs classes 7 days a week for children from 12 months and up, with options that grow alongside them, from their first climbs, jumps and movement games through to gymnastics, tumbling and parkour-style skills.

The huge gym has bars, rings, climbing ropes, a trampoline, foam pit and a sprung tumble strip - kids have so much opportunity to learn and move. 🤸

Parents will love the practical extras too:

✨ Free assessments to help find the right starting point
🚗 Two hours’ free parking
👀 Ground-level and upstairs viewing areas with full views of the gym floor
🧸 A fenced play space and free colouring for siblings
☕ Kiosk with drinks and snacks
🎉 Active birthday parties in the gymnastics hall
☀️ School holiday intensives and private lessons for children aged five and over

A great one to keep in mind for little movers, big kids with energy to burn, and families looking for an activity that is easy to manage with siblings in tow.

✨ Learning through play is at the heart of the day at Cressy Road Early Learning in Ryde.

Children aged 18 months to six are encouraged to explore, experiment, get active and follow the things that spark their curiosity — with educators who know them well and a genuinely home-like feel throughout the centre.

A few things parents will love:

🎨 A dedicated art room and specialist art teacher three days a week, alongside sensory, STEM, music and art experiences. Children also have time to follow big ideas and develop longer-term projects over weeks or even months.

🌿 Active outdoor play, including climbing trees, pushing logs and tyres, exploring the mud pit and building confidence through movement and measured risk.

🍽️ An outdoor café designed by the children, where they lay tables, serve themselves, wipe down and clean up afterwards — making mealtimes part of the learning too.

🥬 Fresh meals cooked onsite each day, including produce from the veggie patch, plus regular local excursions and family workshops on practical topics.

🤝 A longstanding team, with some educators having been part of Cressy Road for many years.

📍 Cressy Road Early Learning, 16–18 Cressy Road, Ryde
