Gymboree is the highlight of mine and my daughter’s week. We have been going since she was a few weeks old and not only does it provide excellent sensory play once a week, the classes also give me confidence and ideas of my sensory play we can do at home. Adele and the rest of the team makes everyone feel comfortable and helps create an environment where it’s fine if baby needs a feed or is crying and as parents we feel supported.

We have always loved coming to Gymboree, the facilities are fantastic and because the layout of the exciting equipment is always changing it has a lovely mix of being familiar and feeling new each time we come! Our older son Henry came for a number of years and it set him up so well for school nursery. Our younger son Alfie is enjoying it just as much and particularly loves the climbing! Thanks to all the team for always being so friendly, kind and welcoming xXx

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 :-)
