TechyTots was established at the beginning of 2017 in response to a gap in the
market by mum of two Gemma Murray. Having family members working in this field
and after researching the benefits of teaching children coding Gemma was keen to
introduce her own children to coding and quickly realized there was nothing
available in the early years to develop such skills. It was quickly apparent
that there was high demand for TechyTots with lots of schools asking to run
sessions and with family sessions being popular. In just over a year the level
of supply and demand was so high for TechyTots, the opportunity for the business
to grow was clear. TechyTots is now a national franchise providing classes from
Tyneside to London. Now run by Gemma’s Cousin Julie Barber, TechyTots has gone
from strength to strength. Julie has been a franchisees with TechyTots since
2018, and has a unique perspective as a business leader, she has faced the
challenges of a franchisee and devolved a successful franchise with multiple
classes running well in her area. Julie now has the opportunity to develop
TechyTots and make sure more children are able to be part of TechyTots and learn
important Coding skills. TechyTots is the first class in the uk to bring
together technology and play to introduce children to coding. Our aim is to work
on the first steps of coding with children at a young age to help prepare them
for the technical world we now live in whilst making it fun. 'Coding' for those
who do not already know is simply a set of instructions for a computer or
device. At TechyTots we encourage children to develop early coding skills by
using robots and the most advanced ‘Techy’ toys available. We also use unplugged
play and activities which encourage problem solving skills, critical thinking,
sequencing, early math skills and early programming, which are not only
educational but lots of fun too!
