The programme, devised by Tumble Tots, is a progressive pre-school skills programme that follows the Foundation Stage guidance for physical development. Children take part in weekly 30-minute sessions with a Leaps and Bounds instructor to practice their balancing, climbing, rolling and ball skills. Ms Gunnell said, 'Learning basic skills is important for children to enjoy sports and develop the sporting stars of the future.' Photo Richard Lea-Hair
