Hands down the best class I’ve taken my baby to. Hard not to get emotional writing this but it’s been everything; a safe and fun baby led place where I’ve made brilliant and diverse mum friends and my baby has enjoyed interacting with other babies, doing tummy time (I know!), dancing, rocking, singing, playing peekaboo and watching bubbles! Massively thankful to Hannah, Jack and the rest of the team at Watford for all the joy the classes have brought us already.

Shona, Megan and Elinore are great at what they do and my child loves the atmosphere here! Their classes are so much fun and always different, the equipment changes all the time, great at keeping it fresh and interesting.
You can tell Shona, as a manager really has a passion for what she does and drives her team and had added some lovely touches to the place since taking over.
The team always have smile on their faces and are so engaging with every child in class. We love Gymboree and think everyone should try it!

We started attending Gymboree when my son began walking. He absolutely loves it, calls for Gymbo at home, and even imitates Aaron! It’s wonderful to watch him grow and develop in such a special place, surrounded by dedicated and caring professionals. Gymboree has been an essential part of our journey, and I couldn’t recommend it 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 :-)
