My name is Catherine Byrne and I run the Tumble Tots franchise in the Gloucestershire area. I have been running classes in the area since 2009.
I love the Tumble Tots programme as it builds confidence, self esteem help children to develop those essential skills of agility, balance, climbing and co-ordination that we all take for granted.
Our classes are held in Churchdown on Monday, Charlton Kings on Tuesday, Hatherley on Wednesday, Quedgeley on Thursday, Coopers Edge on Friday and Saturday.

Our Mission
Our mission is to develop children’s essential ‘Skills for Life’ and to create a positive association with physical activity at an early age, helping little ones grow up healthy and happy.
Our mission is to develop children’s essential ‘Skills for Life’ and to create a positive association with physical activity at an early age, helping little ones grow up healthy and happy.
Development is at the heart of our programme because children develop faster in the first three years of their lives compared to any other time.Therefore, it is important to introduce little ones to a range of different activities as early as possible to help them learn and develop physical, cognitive, and social skills.
Our mission is to develop children’s essential ‘Skills for Life’ and to create a positive association with physical activity at an early age, helping little ones grow up healthy and happy.
Our programme is designed to develop children’s physical, cognitive and social skills through a range of activities using our brightly coloured bespoke wooden, foam and handheld equipment.
Each individual piece of apparatus and the activities that accompany them, are specially designed to aid a different aspect of children's development, and vary between the classes to reflect the developmental needs of that age group.
We provide a happy and safe environment for children to meet and engage with other little ones, as well as grownups, forming and building relationships which are important for social learning and personal wellbeing.
As children progress through the programme, they will develop and refine their skills further, learn new proficiencies and gain more confidence in their abilities, which is one of many reasons parents chose Tumble Tots.

We offer five different classes, each tailored to the age and specific stage of a child’s development:
• 6 Months - Walking • Walking - 2 Years • 2 - 3 Years • 3 Years - School Age • Gymbobs
Little ones attend weekly alongside children of the same age and with similar capabilities. Together they participate in activities and use equipment suited to their level of understanding.
Every two weeks the layout and pieces of equipment are changed to constantly vary the activities providing children with new challenges and even more opportunities to learn.

“Your child’s springboard to confidence!”We believe that we provide children with a platform to gain confidence:• Physically - the confidence to try new activities and take on bigger challenges.
• Socially - the confidence to interact with others and express themselves.
• Cognitively - the confidence to ask questions and take initiative.
• Personally - the confidence in themselves to be able to achieve their goals.

Tumble Tots was first created in 1979 by former British Olympic gymnastics coach, Bill Cosgrave who identified that the children coming to his sessions were not equipped with the necessary fundamental physical skills needed to perform basic gymnastic movements.
Consequently, he developed classes to teach children these simple but essential skills, before moving on to his gymnastics lessons, which evolved into the progressive physical play programme that we know and love today.
Whilst our classes have remained largely unchanged over the years, our programme has evolved through a greater understanding of the importance of physical activities in overall early years development.
The longevity of Tumble Tots is a testament to the quality of our programme which is demonstrated by past generations who see the value of classes by benefiting themselves and therefore bring their children and grandchildren today.
