We've been going to Gymboree for almost a year, and it's been amazing.
Classes are well structured, with a wide range of material and approaches and the teachers are thoughtful and very competent.
My daughter loves to attend the art classes and the open gym.

Our 2-year-old son attended Gymboree Play & Music St Albans for four months, and it was an amazing experience! He loved the friendly environment, and the facilities were perfect for him to explore and have fun.
The art classes were a big hit! They developed his creativity and he had a blast expressing himself through art.
Aimee and Sarah and other teachers made the classes so enjoyable. Our son always looked forward to their classes.
We're truly grateful for all the fun and learning he had during his time here. Gymboree Play & Music St Albans, you made our son's early years memorable!

Lovely class, with lots of fun things for little one to get involved in. Has helped grow my sons confidence as he’s not keen on messy play and it’s interested him to explore more with his hands in each class he progresses in trying an activity he wasn’t keen on the week before, which is great. He is 2 years old so hopefully by 3 he will enjoy messy play a little more.

My daughter absolutely loves Gymboree. We do two classes a week and she is so happy, engaged and excited during them. The class leaders are super friendly and talented at what they do and the activities are always fun and unique. They are also really flexible if you want to change around your classes. You can do two classes with paying just £10 extra a month for the second class, which is such a bargain for the quality you are getting. I couldn't recommend more!

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 :-)
