Gymboree Play & Music Hampstead

My daughter has had the most incredible experience at the Hampstead branch - she's been a member since 6 months old and it's become her second home. She's formed a deep connection with the amazing team there, and with Gymbo of course! The fun and educational classes have nurtured a love for music and dancing and movement - Gymboree has played a huge role in her early development and we can't imagine our lives without it. Big thank you to Pav and her team for fostering such a wonderful learning journey!

My daughter loves both the Gymboree and the music classes - highly recommend

My little girl is nearly one year old and has been going to Gymboree for a few months. Taking her to her weekly class is something I look forward to, and she goes most days to the open play sessions with other carers.
Fundamentally it's a clean, safe, fun, and well equipped place specially designed for children of the target age. Although I enjoy playing with my daughter, it can be tough coming up with ways to keep her amused. I like that for at least one hour a week we can have fun together with someone else worrying about the structure.
My baby loves the sessions and several times was almost beside herself with delight, shrieking with excitement and jumping up and down when it was a favourite activity!
Without a control experiment I can't definitely say her development has been improved (maybe she's just getting older?), but the activities certainly look like they're helping.
There is a good spread of activities. Music and clapping type things, free play focusing on gross motor skills, the first beginnings of social play with other babies, and some fine motor work with things like popping bubbles.
Staff are excellent. Admin staff have been helpful in scheduling. The child-facing staff are lovely, remembering my daughter week to week. Very friendly, professional, and happy place.
In terms of value for money, the daily open sessions make it very good. However if it was just the supervised class the subscription would be pricey.

My son has been going to Gymboree from when he was a year old (he's now 2 and half) and he loved every minute of it. He loved the classes as well as the open gym. The teachers are wonderful and always think of new games to play. The staff is lovely and welcoming. My son loved all the songs and sings them at home as well. Would highly recommend!

I've been taking my baby to Gymboree since he was 4 months old (he's now 7 months), and it's been so amazing for his development, encouraging tactile play, mobility, crawling and interaction with other babies, all with unique songs as well as traditional nursery rhymes. And now moving up into the next class to encourage more climbing and exploration. The variety of play set ups are great and the staff are absolutely excellent. Naeema and Lexi and Emma have been so wonderful taking the babies classes and Pav and others have been so supportive and flexible from a management/ admin perspective. Would highly recommend!
