Christmas Parties with Gymbo!
It’s that time of year again, it’s time for Christmas Parties with Gymbo! Many of our centres will be running…
Music 2 (16 – 28 months)
Focus: Build a solid musical foundation for your 16 to 28 month old.
- Where they are:
- Learning through a progression from receptive to expressive musical behavior.
- What to expect in class:
- Experience music from all around the world-music from both past and present, near and far! From The Beatles to Bach! In Music 2, children will begin to experiment with ways to play musical instruments, accompany a song with rhythm, and act out lyrics through movements using both gross motor and fine motor skills. Children know so much about music at this stage, and are at the beginning stages of being able to express themselves musically!
- other music classes:
- Music 1 (6 – 16 months)
- Music 3 (28 months – 5 years)
- Family Music (6 months – 5 years)
Benefits:
Physical: Sensory exploration time is supported while children practice their motor skills, which is crucial for your child’s overall development.
Cognitive: Music play helps activate parts of the brain responsible for music and speech processing. It creates an early appreciation of music and supports language development.
Social: Through music, you can hear and feel emotions. Tunes can be happy, sad, or angry! This supports social development in understanding emotions in a new way.
Adults: You get to engage with your little one making emotional connections and strong bonds. Being involved in your child’s play helps both you feel more connected.

My granddaughter loves Gymboree. She has been to both the play and learn, and music sessions for several months. The staff are lovely (and have great singing voices!), and you feel part of a family. The structure of the sessions means that she has developed confidence, through familiarly, and of course always enjoys seeing Gymbo.

So much fun for your little one.
We have been coming for about 8 months since my daughter was around 8 months and she loves it.
The lovely Macie makes the class really enjoyable and is a great asset to the team.
Would definitely recommend the music class on a Friday morning.
The whole team are very friendly and helpful.

I can't recommend Gymboree St Alban's enough. Steph, Jack, Sarah, Aimee, Lukas, Lilly and Joe are brilliant teachers; passionate, fun and super professional. Charlotte has been attending for about two years and learns so much in the different classes that are on offer. The structure works well and allows children to engage and develop at their own pace and level. I would recommend anyone with a 1-4 year old to try all - play and learn, music and arts + crafts; each allows your child to learn in different areas. Customer service is excellent, I often book classes with late notice, but the team are always very accommodating, which is very much appreciated. :) Gymboree offers excellent value. Thank you, team St Albans!

Gymboree Wimbledon has been a highlight of our week since they reopened! I believe that from her music class and play & learn my daughter has developed mentally and physically - which is wonderful to watch!! It’s always a fun and relaxed atmosphere to let the babies roam and explore. Looking forward to continuing our Gymboree adventure

Last year Kerem started Gymboree for only music lessons, this year he is 2.5 years old and we continue with both music and play and learn lessons. Gymboree is the best, professional enjoyable, and teaching kids club. Kerem loves all of the tutors separately and when he comes home he pretends like them and plays games. We wait for the Gymboree days impatiently. Gymboree is also supported to get used to the nursery. We are very thankful them to make Kerem feel special.

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 :-)
