Posted: 22nd June 2023

EXCITING NEWS – MESSY PLAY IS COMING TO KENSINGTON

Calling all our messy players – non-members welcome

We are very excited to be launching a 5 weeks sensory course

Every Monday from the 3rd to the 31st of July, at 3pm

This course will introduce little ones aged 6 months to 3 years old to all senses through a mixture of homemade, edible, non-toxic and hypoallergenic products.

Over the course of the weeks we will explore everything related to Summer – here is a quick programme for you:

WEEK 1 Monday 3rd of July – RAINBOW

WEEK 2 Monday 10th of July – UNDER THE SEA

WEEK 3 Monday 17th of July – FAIRGROUND

WEEK 4 Monday 24th of July – CAMPING

WEEK 5 Monday 31st of July – SUMMER HITS

All children benefit from a space to be creative; they are eager to explore different mediums, textures and ways to express themselves, so why not do it in a fun, safe and friendly environment! Even better, this course is stress free for you and NO CLEAN UP 😂

Why messy play?

Physical: Little eyes, ears and hands are fully immersed in a sensory rich environment with curated materials selected to enhance sensory awareness and creative potential.

Cognitive: Scientific thinking and experimentation provide children with the tools for creative problem solving.

Social: Children build on the important social skills they’ll need for school, like peer collaboration, impulse control, independence, and confidence in a safe and nurturing setting.

Adults: Grownups and children work together as co-creators in invention, discovery and play.

The cost is a one-off payment of £125 for members or £150 for non-members for the 5 weeks

Spaces are limited to avoid disappointment contact us by email to book your place:

Reviews

Both of my children (3.5 years and 11 months) go to Gymboree Play & Music and love it. My toddler goes to their drop-off Lego class which she raves about. It's very creative, working not only on Lego skills but also painting, drawing etc. My infant son loves his Gymboree Play & Music Crawlers class - particularly loves crawling all over their props, through the tunnels, etc. Great way to get the infant crawling over obstacles! Gymboree Play & Music is part of our weekly schedule for both kids and we look forward to participating every week. Invaluable!

Gymboree Play & Music was a lovely and positive experience for my son Leo. We started when he was 9 months and he is now 3 years old, I wish we had started sooner.
He loves the songs (which is part of our daily singing at home), the freedom to explore and he was happy there. He looks forward to class every week and once class is over he will tell everyone about Gymbo and what he did.
For me, I liked that it taught him how to get down safely from a height, how to learn to use his body, and touching on different topics every 2 weeks. It gave me confidence in other environments to trust that he has the ability that he learned from Gymboree Play & Music and to trust him.

I’ve been taking both my newborn and toddler to Gymboree Play & Music for a couple of months now and both boys are really loving the classes and open gym sessions. It’s a great way to meet other mums, entertain toddlers at witching hour(!) and get ideas for sensory play with babies. Sophie and Cat are fantastic and have so much energy and loads of different ideas for the classes, plus make sure the activities it’s help children meet their development milestones as well. Highly recommend this if you’re thinking about joining!! Thanks so much Sophie, Cat and the wider team :-)
