Tumble tots yes or no?

I took my dd 3.9 to tumble tots last week and she quite enjoyed it (better than dancing anyway which she practically ran out of the door at). Was just wondering what anyone thought about tumble tots cos it seems quite expensive before i join her up

My ds liked it.

DD enjoyed it very much. Helped to have an outside-the-house physical activity during bad weather months when going to the park was not always an option.

My son went from about under a year up til he started school at nearly 4. He really enjoyed it and I felt he got a lot out of it particularly developing his balance etc and confidence in climbing at the Park. They teach them how to climb up and down properly and we've never had any falls off equipment as he shouts and waits if he can't get his foot on something solid. It can seem a bit pricey but then if you take them to a soft play place and add up entrance, tea/coffee, food & drinks it would work out a lot more.

Tumble Tots is great (and I speak as someone who runs a different children's activity)

It has done ds a world of good. I think that you pay for the good staff/child ratio and the whole set up seems geared around the needs/welfare of the children.

I actually think it is very cheap considering all the equipment thay have and the number of staff per child. I wonder how they manage it to be honest.

My ds absolutely loved it and I was sad when we had to stop when he started school. He was a prem and has delayed gross motor development. The activites at Tumbletots did wonders with helping that. I was impressed at the structure, equipment and discipline. I just wish our local franchise offered an after school class.

DD (3.6)who is very insecure in groups settled in the 1s time she went there and was chatting away to the staff as if she had been there for years. Last week was only her second time and she has been asking every day if she could go again (is TT today mum?).

Wish I found out about it earlier!
