About Huppel
Children learn by moving. Not by sitting still.
“A child who wobbles sometimes falls. That is how they learn. I want children here to enjoy moving again, and parents to go home with something they can do tomorrow.”
Bianca Cremers, owner
Huppel started as a room with a mat and a ball. Now we have our own gym, a writing corner and three therapists. We keep it small on purpose: your child always sees the same therapist, and you always speak to the same person.
Who sees your child in the gym.

What is in our gym, and why.
Everything in the gym has a purpose. Your child sees a playground, we see exercises.
Wall bars
Climbing, strength in arms and core, and courage.
Wobble boards and balance cushions
Balance and stable ankles.
Trampoline in the floor
Jumping, rhythm and jumping power. Safe, with no edge to fall off.
Tunnel and soft blocks
Crawling, planning and spatial awareness.
Large exercise balls
Core, posture and reactions.
Writing table at child height
Sitting posture, pen grip and writing, with an adjustable chair.
after school
At half past three the first children stream in. Shoes off, and into the gym.
How we work.
Every treatment follows the same four steps. After six weeks we look back with you: if things are better, we start to wind down.
- 1
Call or sign up
Call us, or sign your child up online. Without a referral is fine too: then we start with a fifteen-minute screening.
We often speak to you the same afternoon. - 2
Meeting and observing
Sixty minutes in the gym. We play, watch how your child moves and listen to your questions.
A parent comes along, and brothers or sisters are welcome too. - 3
Practising in the gym
Usually half an hour a week, for six to ten weeks. You are there and join in.
In the gym, at home or at school. - 4
At home and at school
You get an exercise card with games. If it helps, we consult the teacher or the coach.
After six weeks we list what is going better.
Skilled, and you can check it.
