Our progressive play programme supports children as they develop core physical skills. Using our colourful equipment, each session focuses on agility, balance, climbing and coordination. These early movement experiences encourage healthy development and help children grow in confidence.
Sessions are led by our trained team who guide children gently and encourage steady progress. For children under three, parents and carers join in so families can share the experience and support learning together.
The programme begins from six months, once babies can sit without support.
Six Months to Walking
Babies explore the equipment in a calm space. Activities encourage reaching, crawling and cruising, helping them build the foundations for independent walking.
Walking to Two Years
Confident walkers begin a simple equipment circuit with low level challenges. Hand held coordination activities support fine motor skills. Circle time with rhymes and action songs encourages early language development.
Two to Three Years
Children work in small groups and explore stations with slightly more challenging equipment. They practise balance, climbing and early problem solving. Learning to follow instructions and take turns supports social and emotional skills.
Three Years to School Age*
Children now join independently. Sessions build on earlier skills and introduce tasks that develop strength, coordination and spatial awareness. Staff guide each child individually to support confidence and school readiness.
Gymbobs (School Age to Seven Years)*
Gymbobs brings together everything learnt so far. Children take part in equipment challenges, simple relay tasks, team games and warm up activities that complement school physical education.
Please note that some centres may not offer Gymbobs classes. Parents must remain on site for the Three Years to School Age and Gymbobs sessions.

Meet Michelle Lee
Hi, my name is Michelle and I have managed the Tumble Tots programme in Newcastle since December 2018 after working as part of the team for 16 months. Both of my boys attended Tumble Tots when they were younger, so I know first hand just how beneficial our programme is to a child's development! Prior to this I worked as a Toxicologist in Drug Safety Evaluation for 11 years, but as my priorities in life changed after having my children, I went in search of a job which suited family life better and jumped at the chance to become a part of the Tumble Tots Newcastle team.
Watching our Tots develop their physical skills and grow in confidence week by week is so rewarding as they progress through each stage of our programme. With the support of a great team, I aim to provide a safe, fun and welcoming environment for all of our Tumble Tots family.
