Hi, my name is Michelle and in 2018 I took over running the Newcastle Franchise after working there for 16 months as a Play Worker. 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! Previously 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!

Hi, my name is Tia. I am in my third year of studying ‘early years and childhood studies’ at Northumbria university and I am really enjoying it. I also have a level 2 qualification in childcare and a level 3 qualification in health and social care. I am very interested in the development of children physically, intellectually, emotional and socially and I love to watch them grow and progress with time. I believe Tumble Tots to be very beneficial to a child’s well-being and development.

Hi, my name is Beth. I am currently studying hairdressing at college and hope to open a children's salon once I qualify! I have a very active 5 year old son so I know the importance of having somewhere safe and enjoyable for children to go to develop their skills! I love to get to know each of the children and watch them learn and grow as they progress through the classes!

Hello, my name is Becky, I have been very fortunate to have been a stay at home parent over the last 14 years to three amazing kids. Having had three energetic kids myself I know the importance of having somewhere safe for them to release this energy and enjoy themselves. Tumble Tots is a fantastic place to do this and is also beneficial for their social development too. I love getting to know the different personalities of the children and help them develop and grow in confidence throughout their time at Tumble Tots.

Hello, I’m Emma, I’m a level 3 nursery nurse with a degree in disability and childhood studies. I worked in a special needs school before becoming a mummy of two. My daughter attended Tumble Tots as a toddler, she loved climbing and Tumble Tots gave her a safe and fun environment to explore and grow in confidence. I have a bubbly, fun personality and love supporting little ones and seeing their personalities grow through exciting programs and opportunities, like those that Tumble Tots has to offer.
