Jacky Cobb
Owner - Tumble Tots Newark
Hi my name is Jacky and I am the joint franchise owner for Tumble Tots with my friend Helen. I can honestly say that we have the best job ever!! Every day is different and so much fun. I love to see, enable and support the children to develop their skills and confidence. I think my best moments are seeing the joy and sense of achievement children get when completing tasks they have found challenging and it is a honour to be part of their journey. I am a mum of two very active children who themselves went to Tumble Tots when younger so when the opportunity arose to have the franchise for the area I jumped at it!! My other interest include walking, our pet dog, camping, gymnastics and spending time with family and friends.

Owner - Tumble Tots Newark
Hi, I’m Helen and am joint Franchise owner with my friend Jacky. And yes we do have the best job ever! After seeing the benefits of attending Tumble Tots with my own active boys I jumped at the chance to jointly own the Franchise. How else would I be able to carry on doing the wiggly woo when my own children got too big! The programme not only teaches the children essential skills for life that they take with them to nursery, school and beyond but it’s also great to see so many friendships made both by the children and parents. With a family of boys I spend a lot of time at the side of a football pitch come rain or shine and love spending lots of family time out and about. You may also see me with a bow and arrow as Archery is a hobby of mine.
Donna
Class Leader - Tumble Tots Newark
Hi, I’m Donna and I have been working for Tumble Tots since 2015. I initially bought my son to the classes and saw the amazing benefits to his confidence, social skills and physical abilities. I was then employed by the same franchise, I have also helped at festival events such as Gloworm and Geronimo and have thoroughly enjoyed doing so. In my leisure time I love spending time with my family doing a variety of things such as running, visiting National Trust properties or Merlin Attractions.

Class Leader - Tumble Tots Newark
Hi I’m Nikki. I absolutely love meeting the families and seeing the little children’s personalities grow and skills develop. As a mum of three children close in age I’m used to the hustle and bustle of busy mum life. Having brought my own (monkey- like) son to classes, I believe the skills he learnt really set him up for life learning how to move as safely as possible, whilst having the most fun ever! I have previously worked as a teaching assistant at primary school and believe Tumble Tots to be a great place to set children up for the transition to school with the additional skills they practice and confidence they can gain. In addition to the above I enjoy running and raising money for charities close to my heart and of course sofa cuddles with the dog after the children have gone to bed.

Hi, I'm Heather.
Tanya
Class Assistant - Tumble Tots Newark
Hi, I'm Tanya. I love being part of the Tumble Tots team. It is so rewarding seeing the children in each class develop skills and grow in confidence. My own two children came to Tumble Tots when they were younger. It really helped their physical and social development and I got to meet lots of other parents too. I worked for 14 years as a Teaching Assistant in a Primary School, in particular in the Early Years class. So I know the benefits and necessary independent learning skills Tumble Tots can give children to help them settle into nursery and school. I love walking and have 4 dogs which keeps me very busy. I enjoy watching football and have spent many years on the sidelines cheering on my son's team.
