Our first time was a magic suprise! Ellen was full of energy and had prepared a fantastic class for the little ones (and adults too) this was the best gymnastic class we have ever been to! Looking forward to going back next week!

My son has been attending after school football sessions and camps for the last 3 years.

He LOVES it!

This last summer camp we initially only booked a couple of days but he had so much fun he asked to go for more! They did so many activities, kept them busy throughout the day, he finally went to bed at a decent time!

The weekly football sessions are always fully booked with waiting lists. The coaches are amazing. Teaching them new skills whilst having fun. I'm constantly being told - cheeky grin - stories about the coach being "megged" 🤷‍♀️ Plus he gets to spend extra time with his friends. (Also I would like to add that the coaches are always by the gate making sure there is a parent/guardian at pick up before letting the kids out - even for thr fassionably late parents that are running through the gates a few minutes late.)

Management/admin have always been responsive whenever I have contacted them with a query. I've never had an issue and even if I did, our interactions up to now leave me reassured that they will deal with it in the most professional way.

If you are reading this and having seconds thoughts about signing up your child, don't.
My highly energetic child promises your kid wont regret it 🤩

I have been taking my 26 months old to the toddler session run by Ellen for past 8 months , she loves it and looks forward to it every single week. She has learned so much over these past months. She had her 2 year development check and the health visitor was pleasantly surprised that she could jump with both her feet above the ground all by herself at this young age. All thanks to Ellen’s effort, she puts so much thought into each session , it has really paid off.

Fabulous holiday clubs arranged by Junior Sports Star at New Islington. We've been going there for sometime and our daughter loves it. Good range of outdoor activities are arranged and encouraged. And lots of indoor fun too on the rainy days. Thank you Katie and Team for doing such a stellar job.
Ruth Kyle
This is always the club that my daughters request.... It doesn't get a better recommendation than that!

Our son always had a great time when he attended the after school football club and holiday club hosted by Junior Sport Stars. He enjoys it so much he actually asks us to book the hol club for him every school holiday 😂

My daughter loves attending the junior gymnastic holiday courses . This week she attended for the whole week and everyday came out with a huge smile and stories of all the things she had learnt. Never once did she say she was bored. Trainers are all fantastic. My daughter has adhd and finds it hard to listen and sit still but everytime she is in a lesson she not only listens she follows instructions and the trainers are great with her.

Absolutely wonderful staff who do so much to make people feel welcome and my daughter absolutely loves it. I am very new and so do not know many names yet but Rick has been extremely kind as has everyone I have interacted with. I lost my headphones and have really poor eyesight, , everyone helped me look for a missing part and so I really appreciate the kindness when I stupidly interrupted a lesson. The facilities are second to none and I look forward to seeing my daughter really flourish and get to know everyone more in future. Great first impression

Our daughter decided to take up gymnastics after picking up a book about it from the library. We thought it would be a phase she would quickly get fed up of. Over a year later we are still here with our little one jumping out of bed each Saturday keen to start her session.

Junior Sports Stars is absolutely fantastic. Our daughter is always made to feel welcome, she is happy and encouraged through the lessons and her skills have developed significantly. The quality and range of equipment is amazing and sessions are fun, engaging and different each week.

She absolutely adores the head coach Rick who has always been very responsive with any questions or queries we have had. The club also has a great team who clearly love working with kids and are good at what they do.

Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks to all at Junior Sports.

Took my 18 month old today for a free trial of the toddler play & stay, it's great, my girl absolutely loved it, it's the happiest Ive seen her at any of the baby/toddler groups we've been to. She was smiling from beginning to end, so happy and free!!

There's lots of different games and music to dance to and you get to go round an obstacle course, parachute tunnels and such. The floor is springy so it made it even better haha. It's a really nice environment with lots of things to do.

The woman who runs/hosts it is really lovely, funny and energetic, it's a great group to take your toddler to, I am definitely coming back, I travelled half an hour and it's definitely worth it. Everyone should give it a go, especially as you can do a free trial.

We attend the toddler stay and play sessions, which are absolutely fantastic. Best toddler class I've been to in Stockport.

Very very very good sport coach / jack
Caroline Agnew
No security or safeguarding at the gym, anyone can walk in and watch the children! Terrible customer service, the owner doesn't respond to emails and wont speak to parents. Prices were put up twice in 2 months for children doing 3 hours a week, this is ridiculous. Lots of coaches and children have left due to poor management and lack of development with gymnasts! Advanced groups don’t have a dedicated coach, the sessions aren’t structured well at all with all ages and abilities grouped together, they rarely attend competitions!
William Hardman
Junior Sports Stars has been a wonderful experience for our daughter! She loves the holiday club, and the staff are always professional and caring. The activities keep her engaged, and it's clear the children are well looked after. She always comes home happy and excited to go back. Highly recommend!
Marilyn
My daughter had a wonderful trial time at Stockport centre and she will be joining the team afterwards.
