About Us

Leaps and Bounds…the pre-school children’s franchise

Developed by Tumble Tots, Leaps and Bounds is a progressive physical and movement programme for children aged from walking up to five years which has been designed to complement the indoor and outdoor physical activities provided by Pre-school settings.

Children are encouraged through a sequence of tasks to develop skills including: locomotion, agility, balance, climbing, co-ordination and language development through the use of action songs and rhymes.

In 2006 Leaps and Bounds was awarded a Kite Mark by Professional Development Board of Physical Education (PDB). This kitemark is a quality endorsement recognised by DCSF.

How does Leaps and Bounds work?

Fun, exciting and flexible yearly lesson plans designed to fit in with the timetable of any pre-school setting.
Trained instructors deliver colour coded activity blocks. Each block has a specific learning objective that is reinforced and revised. Each activity has specific teaching points and progressions to help the child develop at their own pace.
Involvement with parents. At the beginning of each block children are given objectives and suggested activities to enjoy at home.
At the end of each 30 minute session each child will receive an achievement sticker (e.g. I can jump). Thus reinforcing the objectives achieved during that particular week.
At the end of every block, each child will receive a certificate outlining what they have achieved.
At the end of all the blocks for that year there is a celebration of achievement. Each child will receive a medal.

Leaps and Bounds client testimonies

“We have just come to the end of our first block of Leaps and Bounds. I have to say that the progress our children have made has been fabulous. From the first session the children have and lots of fun and enjoyment. They have gained many skills through Leaps and Bounds. The children love participating and love to collect their achievement stickers at the end of the sessions. Children have been seen to blossom since the start of classes, their confidence, independence and physical skills have progressed at an amazing pace. It is wonderful to see children developing and moving forward in many areas of their development, but the main thing is that they are having fantastic fun. Parents have remarked on their own children's progress and have been amazed at how confident they have become since starting Leaps and Bounds."
Vikki Greggs Nursery Manager Castle View Nursery Chester Le Street

"The Leaps & Bounds leader is always punctual and prepares for the sessions well for the ages and abilities of the children. She is always cheerful and enthusiastic and that made the children eager too as they anticipate for the for the sessions start. The equipment that Leaps & Bounds provide for each session varies from week to week so there is always something different to look forward to. The children experience new physical challenges through these sessions and enjoy the songs, rhymes and ring games too.
Kamariah Kazmi Manager Regent Nursery

The Leaps & Bounds leader is a pleasure to have; she is always smiling and has a fantastic sense of humour which the children and I adore.

They have all developed their physical skills really well and we are delighted with the impact that our classes has on them.
