Walkers (10 – 18 months)

Focus: Equipment

Where they are:
Just like that your little one is walking! They might not be steady, but they’ve taken their first few steps! Now more than ever is the time to build those muscles, strengthen those legs, and let those little ones take off!

What to expect in class:
We’ll explore new physical challenges every week through teacher-led activities, with a focus on different ways to use each piece of our equipment. Crawl through tunnels, explore different textures, slide down slides (or climb up slides!), toddle over bridges, or take a ride in a swing!! We’ll also practice social skills and memory building through sing-alongs and group-play.

other Play & Learn classes:
Babies
Crawlers
Runners
Explorers
Explorers Plus
Explorers Advanced
Family Play

Benefits:

Physical: Challenging walkers to explore physical movements like climbing, crawling, and balancing supports healthy muscle and bone development.

Cognitive: Repetition, songs, and interacting with their familiar adult supports language development, vocabulary, and memory.

Social: Our classroom environment supports little ones with building confidence and feeling more comfortable in unknown places.

Adults: Get quality time with your little one and give them the space they need to practice their new-found skills!

My daughter has always enjoyed the Play and Learn sessions. She is learning and developing skills whilst having fun singing, scaling obstacle courses and listening to stories with her peers.

Our daughter finds it enjoyable, it would be good if the staff could be more stringent in reminding parents about not including other children in any pictures they take.

We LOVE Gymboree. We are made to feel welcome and always have so much fun. You can be as involved as you want. Sometimes my son wants to sit back and observe other times he's at the front/following the class leader around like a shadow.
Something for everyone and bubble time is wonderful to watch.

I've taken all 3 of my children to Gymboree classes and they've all loved them! The staff are amazing and the classes are always fun and educational. You're never rushed out of the door afterwards, which is great as your baby gets some extra play time and you get to know some lovely parents too!

The best baby group I have found. I first took my Daughter at 8 weeks old she is now 13 months and we love every session still. She gets so much out of her sessions. Her smile when she is there is brilliant. She loves all the staff and they make every session fun and interesting. Would highly recommend.

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.

Absolutely amazing place! Especially Aaron from the Chiswick branch, always makes us feel very welcome there. He is extremely passionate and professional. His warmth and enthusiasm are precious. I would recommend that place to everyone! So happy we found it in our community. My son loves going there.
