  Polly

  Owner, Teacher and Party Host

  I absolutely love being the Franchisee of Gymboree Play & Music Bristol!

  I feel so special to get to be a part of little ones’ early lives; watching them grow, learn new skills and hit new milestones is such a precious thing that I get to share with the families that come to Gymbo.

  Getting to be involved in their development is such an amazing experience, from bonding with the children and grownups, to watching their personalities grow and blossom. Each day so many things amaze me, I am constantly laughing and beaming with joy at the sweet, cheeky, mischievous and curious characters that I see!

  I have a BA Hons in Professional Musicianship – Song writing and love being able to bring all my Musical and Performance knowledge to my day-to-day life at Gymbo! Outside of Gymbo I run my own Music Business as a Professional Singer, Musician and Manager (I Sing, play Guitar, Ukulele, Bass and Piano and have just added a Cello to my collection too!)

  Some personal highlights, performing arts wise, have to be performing at Glastonbury, The Edinburgh Fringe, The National Theatre and Latitude!

  I have been with Gymboree Play & Music since 2017, and I took over the Franchise in 2024. It's been an absolute dream so far and I feel incredibly lucy!

  I love coming to work, for me it’s exciting when Monday morning comes around, and I’m very lucky to have such an amazing team to work with too!

  Teacher and party host

  I am overjoyed to join the Gymboree team!! Coming from a theatre background running around and being a little silly is just what I'm used to. I love to sing and is very fond of a kitchen disco at home. I studied Acting at university a d cofounded my own theatre company - UpsideUp who specialise in new plays and running workshops with children in school. I am also in the incredibly long process of writing my first musical Nikola's Cloud.
  Seeing children develop through the classes is such a joy! Each week makes such an impact on our gymboree babies as they learn, explore and interact with the world around them. It has also been a pleasure spending time with all the grown ups who enter our doors, sharing advice, anecdotes and love for their children all the other parents and carers.

Directions
Classes are held at:-
The Annexe
38 Eastfield
Westbury on Trym
BS9 4BE

You can access Eastfield from either Eastfield Road or Priory Ave/Eastfield Terrace.
Once you are on Eastfield, find the RAFA club located at number 38. It is a large building with a sign in front so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding it. Go down the small lane to the side of the RAFA club signposted to the car park – this is also the car park for Gymboree Play & Music. We are located in a separate building behind the main club.

If you are driving, please take care on the short lane leading to our car park. This is not a busy lane but it is narrow and therefore you need to be prepared to give way to oncoming vehicles. Do also note that pedestrians will be using this lane and small children will be in the area, so do take extra care.

Car Parking
All our members are welcome to use the RAFA car park located behind the club.
Occasionally, the club host events and the car park can get full. If this is the case, there is plenty of on street parking available on Eastfield and the surrounding roads.
