Our Programme
Our programme aims to develop children's 'Skills for Life'. It helps them grow into confident adults, that understand and enjoy the importance of leading healthy active lifestyles.
At your first class, you will have experienced a fraction of the potential that Tumble Tots has to offer your child in the future.
Today’s equipment is only a small part of the apparatus and the layout is changed every two weeks (six weeks for 6 MonthsWalking).
This gives us the opportunity to concentrate on different skills and to intensify the challenges as the children develop within the programme.
Age Groups:
6 Months - Walking
Walking - 2 Years
2 - 3 Years
3 Years - School Age
Gymbobs (School Age - 7 Years)
The basic philosophy is to ‘build selfconfidence’ through the development of the child’s physical learning. This is achieved by focusing on four important areas:
General motor skills
Social awareness
Self assurance
Self discipline
They gain this through:
A structured development programme
Ongoing challenges
A fun and happy atmosphere
Well trained and enthusiastic staff
A safe environment
Top Tips in the Classes
When your child receives their membership pack, encourage them to wear their t-shirt in classes to feel part of the club!
Before you leave and in the case of severe weather conditions, please check your text messages, emails, our website or Facebook page for closures.
Please dress children in suitable clothing to allow for better movement and avoid jewellery, dummies or any clothing that can catch on the equipment or cause injury.
Barefoot is best (and safest) for children as this helps with their development. Grownups can wear shoes if they aren’t high heels or heavy boots as these can hurt small fingers or toes.
Please take your child to the toilet before classes begin to save interruption (this is especially important for the over 3’s classes).
If you need to bring a sibling along to class, please be aware that they are unable to participate or play on the equipment as they will not be covered by insurance. We recommend bringing something to occupy them such as a book or colouring.
Make sure you arrive in plenty of time and register your child at the desk.
Parents are fully responsible for their children in the under 3’s classes. We ask that you work directly with your child, encouraging and assisting where necessary. Support your child by holding the back of their T-Shirt so their hands are free for climbing and to aid balance.
In the over 3’s classes, grown-ups are not actively involved but must always remain on the premises.
Children are asked not to eat or drink on the equipment but if they need refreshments, you are welcome to take them to the waiting area.
Please do not take any photographs or videos during the classes and refrain from using mobile phones so your child has your full attention.
Do not let children onto the equipment before or after classes. Please move to the waiting area so we can set-up safely for the next class.
Objectives & Benefits
Our progressive play programme is designed to develop your child’s physical skills. Using bespoke colourful equipment, we focus on agility, balance, climbing and co-ordination, which enhances brain development and builds confidence.
Every session is supervised by our amazing specially trained staff, getting the best out of each child. Up until 3 years, grown-ups participate as well so that parents, carers and even grandparents can spend time with little ones as they develop.
The journey begins for babies from 6 months old who can sit up unaided. Here’s how our classes break down:
6 Months – Walking
Babies explore the equipment in a happy and relaxed environment. This enhances their brain development and helps them to reach key milestones such as crawling, cruising and walking, taking them onto the next class.
Walking – 2 Years
Confidently walking toddlers are now introduced to an exciting circuit of equipment as well as hand held co-ordination activities, developing their fine motor skills. ‘Circle Time’ helps language development through rhymes and action songs.
2 – 3 Years
Working together in small groups, little ones are introduced to stations with more challenging equipment to refine their agility, balance and climbing skills. Following instructions and learning to take turns develops their listening and social skills, as well as confidence.
3 Years – School Age*
Children now take part independently without their grownup, putting into practice their skills for life. Our staff challenge each child individually to their full potential, preparing them for school, physically, socially and mentally.
Gymbobs (School Age – 7 Years)*
Gymbobs is the pinnacle class of Tumble Tots, bringing together everything children have learnt so far! Using challenging equipment setups, relay races, team games and warm-up exercises, Gymbobs is a perfect addition to a child’s school P.E. provision.
*For the 3 Years – School Age and Gymbobs (School Age – 7 Years) classes, parents must remain on site.

From Tumble Tots to Team England
Harry’s Tumbling Journey
Building confidence, skills for life and a love of movement from early years to elite sport
We are incredibly proud to share the news that Harry, aged 15, has been selected for the England Junior Tumbling Squad for 2026!
This is an outstanding achievement and a testament to his talent, dedication, and love of movement. Harry’s story is special because his journey began at Tumble Tots.
Where It Started
Harry first joined Tumble Tots at the age of two, following his older brother into classes in Knutsford with Jane, before later attending sessions in Warrington with Carolyn.
From the very beginning, Harry showed a clear enjoyment of physical activity. His parents remember how much he embraced the sessions, confidently taking on new challenges and developing his climbing and balancing skills week by week.
These early experiences played an important role in building the physical foundations that would later support his progression into gymnastics and tumbling.
Developing Skills Through Movement
During his time at Tumble Tots, Harry developed key physical skills such as balance, coordination, and body awareness. Alongside this, he grew in confidence and enthusiasm, developing a positive approach to learning new skills and overcoming challenges.
Tumble Tots

Right: Harry – from Tumble Tots to Team England
His parents noticed how motivated he was during sessions and how much he enjoyed progressing through the activities. This combination of enjoyment and determination has remained a consistent part of Harry’s journey.
A Natural Progression Into Tumbling
Moving into gymnastics felt like a natural next step for Harry.
Harry says, “I remember really enjoying the obstacle courses, the parachute, aeroplane arms and the tapping sticks song,”
What began as playful exploration of movement soon developed into a strong interest in tumbling. Through focused training, resilience, and perseverance, Harry continued to build and refine his skills, even during periods when injuries tested his determination.
A Moment To Be Proud Of
Being selected for the England Junior Tumbling Squad marked an important milestone for Harry and his family.
They shared, “As parents, we were extremely proud when we heard Harry had been selected, he has always trained hard, remained determined to improve, and never gave up, even when faced with setbacks.”
For Harry, the moment represented the achievement of a long term goal.
“I felt very happy and excited when I found out I had been selected for the England Squad,” he says. “It was something I had been working towards for a long time.”
Advice For Today’s Tumble Tots
Reflecting on his own journey, Harry has a simple message for children currently starting out at Tumble Tots:
“Do not be afraid to try new things. You never know what you are capable of or what you can achieve. Learning to roll and flip is great fun.”
Harry’s journey demonstrates the long-term impact of introducing children to movement early and helping them develop essential skills in a positive, supportive environment.
From his first Tumble Tots sessions at the age of two to representing England at junior level, Harry’s story reflects the foundations at the heart of our programme: developing physical skills, building confidence, and creating a lifelong positive relationship with physical activity.

Every Leap Tells a Story
By Alice Liley – Tumble Tots Worthing
From the very beginning, movement is how babies start to make sense of the world. Long before their first words, little ones are already learning through reaching, kicking, rolling and stretching. As they grow into toddlers, those early movements develop into running, climbing, balancing and playing games with others. Whilst it’s easy to see these moments as everyday milestones, they are also building the foundations for learning, socialising and managing their feelings.
At the Start
In the earliest months, even the smallest movements matter. Lifting their head during tummy time, touching their hands to their feet and rolling from side to side all help babies develop strength and awareness of their bodies. These early experiences lay the groundwork for bigger movements like sitting, crawling and eventually walking. Giving babies space and freedom to move without too much restriction allows them to explore naturally and build greater spatial awareness.
Tumble Tots
The Toddler Years
As children move into the toddler years, their world opens up. Suddenly they are on the move, crawling, cruising, walking and climbing up to anything they can reach. This is where skills like balance and coordination begin to take shape. Stepping over toys, walking across different surfaces or attempting to kick a ball, all help strengthen your child's core, supporting and developing their strength and stability. At this stage, it’s more about providing opportunities and a safe environment where they can try, wobble, fall and try again!
The Preschool Stage
For preschoolers, movement becomes more adventurous and imaginative. Running, jumping, spinning and dancing all play a part in developing their agility.
or making up their own games, children are constantly learning how to adjust their movements and respond to what’s around them. These experiences don’t just build physical skills, they also support social development as well as fine and gross motor skills. These skills support children as they begin to play with others and develop new skills such as catching, throwing and holding objects and navigating busy environments.
School Time
By the time children reach primary school age, movement is more coordinated and purposeful. They begin to refine skills like balance, speed and control, using them in sports, playground games and everyday activities. Climbing frames, bike riding, ball games and even simple playground challenges all help develop the
strength they formed in the early years. At the same time, these shared experiences teach resilience, problem-solving, communication and confidence in social settings.
Every Child is Different
Throughout all of these stages of physical development, it’s important to remember that every child develops differently. Some may be cautious movers, others more adventurous, both approaches are completely valid and no matter your child's natural approach and use of their physical skills there is always a benefit from regular opportunities to play and learn. The key is offering a wide range of challenges to move in ways that feel enjoyable and achievable for them.
Why Tumble Tots is Crucial
moments of play can be just as rewarding as the milestones themselves.
This is where structured sessions like Tumble Tots can be especially valuable. Each class style is designed to support children from the earliest stages through to school age, we provide a sa fe, engaging space where children can explore movement in a way that grows with them. From sensory exploration for babies to more challenging climbing and coordination activities for older children, each session you attend is built to support development while keeping things fun!
Remember it’s not just about the physical benefits. Attending your regular sessions creates a sense of routine and familiarity that helps children feel secure and confident to try new things. It also gives parents, carers and little ones the chance to connect with others and feel part of a community of families going through similar stages. Those shared
Explore the Outdoors
Creating opportunities for movement alongside your classes doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple things like ball games, trips to the park and the chance to explore different environments all make a difference. Our structured classes can complement this by offering variety, ideas for play as well as our specialist equipment adding in new challenges in a supportive setting.
When children feel safe, supported and free to explore, they are far more willing to take risks, try new things and build confidence in their abilities. From those first little steps to the more complex roly poly developed in class, each stage plays a part in shaping how children grow, learn and see themselves.

WHAT OUR FRANCHISEES SAY
Tumble Tots Newark
Jacky Cobb and Helen Weeks ran a toddler group together...
"We knew we made a good team after successfully running a Toddler Group. So when the opportunity arose to buy the Tumble Tots Newark franchise we couldn't ignore it. We both have children who have attended Tumble Tots. Having attended the Tumble Tots sessions I know what an important role they can play in a child's healthy development as well as being a fun, sociable place to meet new friends for both adults and children."
Tumble Tots Gloucester
Catherine Bynre worked in retail before becoming a franchisee...
"I came from a retail and training background having worked in retail for 12 years before having my children. I took time off after having my two children then worked for Tumble Tots as a part time member of staff in the midlands before moving to Cheltenham in 2006 where I also worked part time as a Tumble Tots trainer. When the opportunity to buy the business came up I had no hesitation in going for it as I knew that this was a reputable Franchise with a proven record of training and support."
Tumble Tots Newcastle
Michelle Lee was a Toxicologist who changed career to better suit her family life…
"As my family grew, my priorities in life changed and after 11 years working as a Toxicologist, I went in search of a job which suited family life better. Running a Tumble Tots Franchise doesn’t feel like work as we have fun every single day! And you can set
your own business hours meaning that it fits perfectly around busy family life. By far the most rewarding part of running a Tumble Tots franchise is seeing all the children’s skills progressing week on week and watching their confidence soar! You get a great support network with the head office team and your fellow franchisees are also extremely helpful and on hand for idea sharing and support."
Tumble Tots Glasgow
Rachael Hall was in the police for 10 years but wanted a change after starting a family…
"Choosing Tumble Tots was an easy decision once I’d committed to go for something new as I was fully onboard with the ethos and totally bought into the TT family. After being successful I received business management training from Head Office which covered all of the basics including staff, van and marketing too. I have a great team at head office who are really supportive and I get on well with them too so that definitely help."

Level-up your child’s oral care
Dental issues are uncomfortable for everyone but for a child, their ability to learn effectively, enjoy playing or even eat can be greatly affected by their oral hygiene routine. Parents care deeply about their children’s oral health but often they’re not sure what it should consist of and when to start implementing a good oral hygiene routine.
“A thorough cleaning routine is the best way to limit your child’s chances of tooth pain or discomfort,” says dental hygienist Emma Nelson. “It’s vitally important to teach children good oral hygiene habits, including flossing, from a young age that will stay with them as they grow up”.
DenTek’s Top Tips to maximise your child’s oral health and minimise the chance of dental discomfort: ��
Ensure children brush their teeth twice a day* with fluoride toothpaste and clean between the teeth once a day. Leave at least 30 minutes after eating before brushing to avoid eroding the tooth enamel
��
Keep to a routine – a morning and evening routine is very important
��
Start young! Start brushing as soon as milk teeth appear or even before you can see them
��
Introduce interdental cleaning** when 2 teeth touch between the ages of 2 and 6
��
Make it fun with songs and a star chart for every time your child brushes their teeth for 2 minutes
*Adult supervision is recommended until the age of ten. **Flossing does not replace your child’s dental check-up. See a professional if problems arise or persist
A toothbrush alone only reaches certain areas of the tooth so it’s vital to introduce young children to flossing. DenTek’s Kids Fun Flossers, available from Boots, are designed especially for smaller mouths and little hands, helping children get to those tricky in-between spaces. The gentle textured, wild-fruit-flavoured, fluoride-coated floss cleans between teeth – the place cavities love to start!

Learning Through Play
A Look at Orchard Toys’ New Range
Orchard Toys has long been trusted by parents, nurseries and early years professionals, and its latest range continues that tradition with confidence.
Known for creating games that strike the perfect balance between fun and education, Orchard Toys once again proves that learning through play doesn’t have to feel forced or formal. Every game in the new collection is carefully designed to support key early learning goals such as counting, turn-taking, letter recognition and problem-solving, all brought to life with colourful illustrations and simple, engaging gameplay.
When it comes to early years play, parents and carers are always on the lookout for toys that do more than simply entertain. The best games spark curiosity, build confidence and gently introduce
learning in a way that feels natural. Ideally, children are so absorbed in the fun that they don’t even realise they’re developing new skills along the way. That’s exactly where the NEW Orchard Toys range shines, combining educational value with joyful play experiences that children love coming back to time and time again.
If you’re anything like us, you want toys that hold your child’s attention for longer than five minutes and maybe, just maybe, teach them something useful at the same time. The new Orchard Toys collection feels thoughtfully created with real family life in mind, making it a strong contender if you’re looking to refresh your toy cupboard with games and puzzles that genuinely earn their place.
The range includes six new additions: Five Little Ducks, Troll in a Hole, Tractor Tractor, Alphabet Bingo, Fairytale Castle, and First Dino Friends. Aimed primarily at toddlers and preschoolers, each product focuses on essential early skills while remaining accessible and fun. There’s a good mix of board games and puzzles, catering to different play styles and attention spans.
GAMES THAT GROW WITH THEM
Five Little Ducks is inspired by the much-loved nursery rhyme, blending counting and colour recognition with singing and storytelling. It’s a lovely way to bring familiar songs into playtime, helping children connect numbers with real actions.
Alphabet Bingo offers a gentle and flexible introduction to letters, thanks to its double-sided boards and four different ways to play. You can start with simple letter matching and gradually build up to more challenging variations as your child’s confidence grows.
Tractor Tractor is designed as a first matching game, featuring chunky, durable cards that can withstand being dropped, chewed or enthusiastically waved around. The friendly farm animal illustrations are instantly appealing and help keep younger players engaged while they practise observation and matching skills.
Then there’s Troll in a Hole, a lively game that involves collecting bug ingredients to feed a hungry troll. It’s fastpaced, encourages turn-taking, and usually results in plenty of giggles. There’s also a bonus colour game included, adding extra value and variety to the box.

FOR THE PUZZLE FANS
If your child enjoys puzzles, Fairytale Castle is a 75-piece jigsaw packed with magical detail. Featuring fairies, knights, and princesses, it’s ideal for encouraging concentration and perseverance. A handy poster is included, along with a learning guide to spark conversations about the scene once it’s complete.
First Dino Friends includes two 12-piece puzzles in one box, making it a great introduction to jigsaws. Built-in visual clues help guide little hands, and matching posters support independent play. Suggested questions in the box encourage discussion, helping children describe what they see and develop language skills.
THE PRACTICAL BITS
Practicality matters, especially during busy days. These games are quick to set up, easy to pack away, and sturdy enough to handle regular use. The simple rules mean younger siblings can often join in, while older preschoolers continue to develop more advanced skills as they play.
Whether they become firm favourites in your household is hard to say, but they’re certainly worth considering if you’re looking for toys that entertain, educate and grow with your child. The new Orchard Toys range proves that learning doesn’t have to feel like hard work – and when children are laughing, playing and learning together, everybody wins.
