Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve booked my place, do I need to do anything else?

Yes! When you book you will be sent a form to complete. Please note that all of the Jumped Up team work part-time so it can take upto a week for this form to be sent through.

Is there free parking?

Yes, there is a free car park next to the Hampton Vale Community Centre & Bharat Hindu Samaj Mandir.

Why are the classes different lengths?
