What a lovely morning Elodie and I had at Tumble Tots.
We were invited by the lovely Sarah to come and try the Crawler class at Westcliffe Hall just off Coldbath Road. Having gone to Tumble Tots myself when I was little, I was very excited to have Elodie try a class. Westcliffe Hall is a beautiful space, And there is loads of free on street parking. So super easy to access.
Elodie took the class straight away, smiling and beaming away as we did the welcome song. Then before the welcome circle time was over, she was off and onto the amazing obstacles, mats and play areas that they had set out.
Across the hall, there’s a number of different slides, equipment, ball pools, and sensory areas for the babies/ toddlers to explore. Elodie particularly liked the shiny silver balls that were weighted and had a rattle inside. She loved rolling them across the floor and chasing after them. The team that run the class are so lovely and welcoming. Interacting with each of the babies individually and helping them interact with the equipment. They are also a fountain of knowledge and full of ideas on ways to help support your babies process in the class.
At 11 months Elodie still isn’t walking, but it was great to see her pulling herself up, crawling and climbing. I could see how this would be brilliant to help develop her gross motor skills. It was also really lovely for Elodie to interact with other babies her own age. She was so excited to be in the class she kept on picking up different toys and handing them to the different children for them to take a turn. A real highlight was when Elodie was helped to swing on one of the bars. Her little face lit up and she wanted to do it again again.
The classes are a great mix of free play with the kids being able to explore at their own pace and circle time where they are guided with songs to do stretches and follow along with actions. Elodie especially enjoyed cuddles with Tumble Tots mascot TT.
Overall we absolutely loved this class and can’t wait to go again. If you have a baby that is full of energy like Elodie I cannot recommend this class enough. She was able to explore and burn off some much needed energy. The class has a very chilled out feeling and was really lovely to be part of.
