With the Tumble Tots Business Opportunity you can join one of the UK's leading Children's Soft Play Franchises.

Established in 1979, the Tumble Tots franchise network has expanded into over 400 UK-based centres operated by around 80 franchisees. They are currently seeking like-minded individuals to join their close-knit family and to become part of their success story.

Previous experience working with children is not essential as full training and support is given.

Primarily Tumble Tots are looking for individuals who aren't afraid of managing a team, and interacting with parents and children.

The Tumble Tots Business Opportunity:

Tumble Tots is an exciting business opportunity for the right person. You will be fully trained and supported to provide fun and progressive physical play programmes, which have been specially designed for children during their most formative years.

Tumble Tots BusinessStarting at 6 months old and continuing until their 7th birthday, franchisees will be giving children the opportunity to develop their physical skills, encouraging a sense of self confidence and significantly enhancing their brain development, all whilst having fun.

Franchisees are provided with a specific territory in which you are able to run classes. Classes can be run in venues that have the minimum area space of a badminton court.Tumble TOts Business

The Technical Team of Tumble Tots can offer support and guidance when it comes to choosing a suitable venue.

Each of the classes have been designed to suit the average skill level of the children attending. It is the job of the team working in the classes to continually challenge children on an individual basis.

In order to run successful classes having 4 members of staff, including you as the franchisee, means that not only does the child attending get a wonderful experience, but the parent receives great customer service.

The Equipment:

Tumble Tots BusinessTumble Tots is a mobile franchise and so a sign written van is crucial in order to transport the equipment from one centre to another each day. 

The classes incorporate brightly coloured wooden and foam equipment along with specially selected co-ordination equipment.

When the opportunity to buy the business came up, I had no hesitation in going for it as I knew that this was a reputable Franchise with a proven record of training & support.Catherine, Gloucester Franchise


Lee and I bought Tumble Tots because we wanted a new venture and as I’d previously worked with children at a Health Club, I wanted to do more. The challenge is great but very rewarding!Lee and Lucy, York Franchisees


I joined Tumble Tots in 1998 when my daughter had just started school and my son was 2. I had always wanted to run my own business, although I never knew what area I wanted to cover.Monique, Huddersfield Franchisee
