Baby & toddler groups at Tumble Gymnastics and Activity Centre are a unique collection of programmes, planned and developed by our highly skilled practitioner, Suzanne Thomson.
Suzanne has 30 years of training and experience working in the early years’ field and is committed to delivering a professional service.
Using relative research, theories, and studies, sessions will encourage child development, promote interaction and bonding with parents/carers, introduce new experiences, and help support social relationships for both babies and adults.
Delivered through a variety of fabulous fun music, dance, and movement activities, interactive stories, and sensory resources/activities, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Parents and children will enjoy all of this and more through our weekly planned, sessions with the emphasis on learning through baby/child-led, sensory, and heuristic play that can easily be transferred to a home environment.
Suzanne works hard to plan and deliver a new and continually improved Baby and Toddler Timetable with brand-new content and exclusive courses throughout the year.
Our activities are suitable from birth up to toddler stage.

What do you have available for babies who are ‘on-the-move- but under 19 months
