Gymboree Norwich is fantastic! The classes are well designed and age appropriate. Wendy, Emma and the team are brilliant. Their enthusiasm is infectious and every class is consistently fabulous. Monthly membership is good value for money. Booking sessions through the app is easy and the flexibility is great, as life with little ones can be unpredictable! The family classes and special themed parties are also wonderful. Will be sad when our son is too old to go. Highly recommended!
We love Gymboree. We have been going for around 6 months and it has been wonderful to watch my son in the space. He is very active and the layout ensures he can run around or climb pretty independently or join in with the structured activities as he wishes. The singing and dancing at the end is also nice for me to loosen up to :) The team are very professional and engage brilliantly with all the kids. I am so pleased we found it!
My little boy loves all the climbing, sliding and jumping at Gymboree!
I take my 27month old Grandson to the Runners classes and he absolutely loves it!
The sessions are really well run and the children are encouraged to take part in short group singing and action activities, in addition to exploring the more physical aspects of sessions .
The climbing equipment varies, with a new set up every 2 weeks, so he is always challenged and excited to come to sessions. The routine however remains the same with songs he has become familiar with.
Each week there is a concept such as big and small, high and low that is explored in an age apporiate way. So cognitive development is catered for too.
To be honest we both look forward to Gymboree day!
Thank you Rose.
I take my grandson to Gymboree Norwich and each session is different. Wendy really gets to know the children and will encourage them.to interact without being pushy. She is very alert and always checks on a child's safety. It's a lively session and my grandson gets do much from it...thank you Wendy!

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 :-)
