A MUM at a Chester Tumble Tots group has won a cottage holiday as part of a nationwide contest.

Families with second generation Tumble Tots children were invited to come forward, but they didn’t expect the overwhelming response from ex-Tumble Tots who are now mums and dads themselves.

Isabel Gallagher from Northwich was one of the four lucky next generation families to have won.

Isabel, 24, remembers her excitement at her weekly Tumble Tots sessions once her siblings were dropped off at school.

“Mum and I had fabulous times together and mum dug out some newspaper clippings of me as a Tumble Tot,” she said.

Now a mum herself to 18-month-old Jack, they attend the same Caldy Valley centre each week.

Jackie Rixon, franchisee of Tumble Tots Caldy Valley, said: “What better way to celebrate 30 years of Tumble Tots then to have a parent who benefited from the programme now bringing her own child to Tumble Tots. It’s really a testament of the programme’s benefits.”
