Young children around Wymondham can join in games and fitness activities as part of a programme started by Olympic tennis star Elena Baltacha-Severino.

Learn Play Grow will take place at Wymondham Leisure Centre to give 0 to seven-year-olds the chance to take part in games using a variety of equipment, music, characters and stories.

The programme was founded by Mrs Baltacha-Severino - who sadly died in 2014 - and her husband, Olympic coach Nino Severino.

Sheila Hunter, owner of Learn Play Grow Norwich said: 'Come and join Bella the Bunny for some family oriented exercise.

'There's nothing quite like exercising together as a family so brush up your moves and get ready for a unique blend of story, music, sports equipment and laughter.'

Times and dates

Sessions start at the leisure centre on Tuesday, April 25 and will run every Tuesday until May 23.

Classes cost £5 per family and if booked for the whole term include a free hot drinks voucher to use in the Centre's Café.

All parents, carers and childminders are welcome for the three sessions:

-1pm to 2pm - sessions for 0 to two-year-olds. Children can join in, watch, be carried, wander or sleep as parent/carers exercise with them in a lovely environment surrounded by like-minded people.

-2pm to 3pm - session for three to five-year-olds. Parents can join in the session at the same rate as their children providing great role models for them to watch, look up to, follow or show.

-4pm to 5pm - session for five to seven-year-olds. Children get to burn off their excess energy in a fun and socially active way while learning new skills and abilities needed for sport.
