History

Tumble Tots was established in 1979 by Bill Cosgrave, a British Gymnastics coach and expert in child development and gymnastics. Driven by a vision to create a programme supporting young children's physical, cognitive, and social development, Bill devised a series of classes to help children build confidence, improve balance, and develop coordination. The concept grew into a nationwide movement, and Tumble Tots has since become the UK's leading provider of structured physical play for children aged 6 months to 7 years. Over the years, it has earned a reputation for delivering enriching, research-backed experiences in early childhood development. Today, the franchise network stretches across the UK with over 170 centres delivering activities to thousands of children each week.
