Nicole
Franchisee
Nicole always knew she wanted to work with Children so after gaining her diploma in Musical Theatre she started her search for her dream job – a place where she could sing and have fun while growing young minds! Her search didn’t take long because she found Gymboree Classes and fell in love with the ethos, principles and foundations of what Gymboree Classes offer. Nicole bought her franchise in 2012 and Gymboree Play and Music Edinburgh opened its doors in March 2013. Since then Nicole has had the pleasure to be part of hundreds of little people’s lives and takes great pride in getting to know each child and their families personally. Nicole is now also a fully qualified IAIM infant massage instructor and has trained in Makaton Signing for babies.

My little girl absolutely loves her class every week. The staff are so friendly and enthusiastic, the lessons constantly change to keep her engaged and the equipment is always so clean. We have been going to classes for so long I can't imagine our week without it. The open gym sessions make it great value for money and the free tea and coffee is such a treat. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team who really take the time to get to know each child individually.

Friendly team, fantastic classes. Have attended since my little boy was around 3 months old and he is now 2 and a half and loves gymbo. Would highly recommend to others.

I began taking my daughter to Gymboree when she was two years old and she has loved every single class. Her teachers have been very enthusiastic and nurturing. I would definitely recommend!

Poppy is absolutely awesome at our Saturday class. My son loves going and gets excited as we pull into the car park. He has built up so much confidence and learnt so much at the class. He loves the routine and the stamps at the end but it's also brilliant that the layout changes so much so you never have the same class twice! Well worth the money and great value in my eyes, always a Saturday morning well spent and I enjoy it just as much as he does!

Reviews
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 :-)
