What to expect from the Tumble Tots sessions?

Tumble Tots have designed specific sessions for Keycamp customers. The sessions have been broken down to cater for the following age groups:

Gymbabes (6 months - Walking)

This programme is similar to the ‘regular’ UK programme, but lasts for 30 minutes rather than 40. The programme commences with a gentle warm up and action song. The equipment is set up randomly enabling the babies to travel in any direction. The parents work very closely with their babies throughout the session. Staff to suggest different uses of the equipment depending on the ability of the child. The session concludes with an action song and sticker time.

Walking - 2 years

This programme is very similar to the ‘regular’ UK programme, but lasts for 30 minutes rather than 45 minutes. The equipment is set up in a circuit and the children are encouraged to work their way around it. Co-ordination items are offered for the children to play with. After 10 minutes we call the children and parents in to make a circle to do some rhymes and an action song. They then return to the equipment and finally another circle time to bring the session to a close.

2-3 years

This programme is quite different to the ‘regular’ UK programme as we keep the equipment laid out in a circuit with co-ordination items available in the middle, rather than placing the equipment into ‘stations’. This enables the children to explore/experience the equipment without having the restriction of remaining on an area of equipment before moving onto another. The circle times remain the same, by beginning the session with one, consisting of a little chat session and an action song. The class will then conclude with another circle consisting of an action song and sticker time.

3-5 years

This programme is quite different to the ‘regular’ UK programme as we keep the equipment laid out in a circuit with co-ordination items available in the middle, rather than placing the equipment into ‘stations’. This enables the children to explore/experience the equipment without having the restriction of remaining on an area of equipment before moving onto another. The circle times remain the same, by beginning the session with one, consisting of a little chat session and an action song. The class will then conclude with another circle consisting of an action song and sticker time. Also in the 'regular' programme the parents do not participate, however, we feel that the parents must stay with their children for the Keycamp Service.

Parachute Fun!

This a session available for children from walking – 5 years. It is a 30 minute session to have fun with the parachute. This activity can take place inside or outside, depending on numbers and weather!

Session Guidelines

To ensure you and your child are at ease during the session, please note a few important points:

Sessions are run by trained Leaders.
All children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Bare feet are best for Tumble Tots.
Please ensure that suitable leg-wear is worn to allow free movement.
Parents/guardians should wear comfortable clothing and footwear.
Please, do not wear high heels or stilettos as they can damage little hands and feet as well as the equipment.
Support your child by holding the back of his/her T-shirt. Avoid holding his/her hand as these need to be free for climbing and to aid balance.
Children quickly gain confidence when allowed to solve their own problems. it is vital however, that you remain alert at all times to support and encourage where necessary.
