Crawlers (6 – 14 months)

My daughter has had the most incredible experience at the Hampstead branch - she's been a member since 6 months old and it's become her second home. She's formed a deep connection with the amazing team there, and with Gymbo of course! The fun and educational classes have nurtured a love for music and dancing and movement - Gymboree has played a huge role in her early development and we can't imagine our lives without it. Big thank you to Pav and her team for fostering such a wonderful learning journey!

My son and I love Gymboree! They are the highlight of my son’s week. The classes are a wonderful - structured and fun but designed to be flexible so children can participate as much as they want. Shona and Megan are amazing - so friendly and welcoming and my son thinks of them as part of the family!

My daughter and I love coming to Gymboree, there is such a welcoming, friendly and fun atmosphere and the staff are wonderful. They take great job of ensuring everyone has a great time. I’m so glad I signed up!

We love coming to Gymboree every week. Shona and the team are always happy to see us, greeting us warmly every time.The classes are fun and engaging for my child, and the open play sessions always help fill the void when finding indoor activities to do especially on a cold rainy day. The ladies at Gymboree are so lovely and take time to talk to me and my child, it makes the while experience even better.

We love Jack who leads our class in Watford. He’s so wonderful with all the children, always so engaging and sings beautifully. The classes cater for little ones to be engaged and are also fine if they want to run around. Would defo recommend to anyone who wants a regular indoor family activity.

My little girl is nearly one year old and has been going to Gymboree for a few months. Taking her to her weekly class is something I look forward to, and she goes most days to the open play sessions with other carers.
Fundamentally it's a clean, safe, fun, and well equipped place specially designed for children of the target age. Although I enjoy playing with my daughter, it can be tough coming up with ways to keep her amused. I like that for at least one hour a week we can have fun together with someone else worrying about the structure.
My baby loves the sessions and several times was almost beside herself with delight, shrieking with excitement and jumping up and down when it was a favourite activity!
Without a control experiment I can't definitely say her development has been improved (maybe she's just getting older?), but the activities certainly look like they're helping.
There is a good spread of activities. Music and clapping type things, free play focusing on gross motor skills, the first beginnings of social play with other babies, and some fine motor work with things like popping bubbles.
Staff are excellent. Admin staff have been helpful in scheduling. The child-facing staff are lovely, remembering my daughter week to week. Very friendly, professional, and happy place.
In terms of value for money, the daily open sessions make it very good. However if it was just the supervised class the subscription would be pricey.

My son has been going to Gymboree from when he was a year old (he's now 2 and half) and he loved every minute of it. He loved the classes as well as the open gym. The teachers are wonderful and always think of new games to play. The staff is lovely and welcoming. My son loved all the songs and sings them at home as well. Would highly recommend!

We started our classes in Gymboree when my daughter was just 8 months old. She loved the classes and teachers specially Amber. They are accommodating and classes are great. It’s also a great place for my daughter to meet and socialize with other babies.

All of my 3 children absolutely loved Gymboree! It was always event of the week!
The staff is so lovely and welcoming. When we come in it is like visiting family or friends.
There is always plenty to do age appropriate activities.
We love Gymboree

Gymboree is the highlight of mine and my daughter’s week. We have been going since she was a few weeks old and not only does it provide excellent sensory play once a week, the classes also give me confidence and ideas of my sensory play we can do at home. Adele and the rest of the team makes everyone feel comfortable and helps create an environment where it’s fine if baby needs a feed or is crying and as parents we feel supported.
