The class was very engaging and fun for the little one. After the first class, my toddler applied the tidying up of toys right away wheb we got home. Well done!

We held my son’s 3year old birthday at Gymboree last Sunday the 12th of January and we couldn’t have picked a better place.
The staff our wonderful and the whole way prior were very accommodating and helpful to any questions we had.
The team on the day were Jack and Sandra who were so helpful and helped us set up the party room , blowing ballon’s and hanging decorations.
Upon arrival of the children they treated everyone with a smile and a welcome.
The kids and even the parents thoroughly enjoyed the party.
The kids had a half hour of free play and then both teachers did a 45min class with all the kids.
We had at least 24 kids who they entertained with a theme chosen by our little boy “dinosaur themed” all of the activities were based around the theme and my son as well as all his friends had so much fun!
At the end of the class we used the party room to serve up some lunch and of course bring in the birthday cake.
It was a very easy going morning, stress free and I couldn’t recommend it more for a birthday bash.
We are apart of the day to day classes which we also love so much!
It has taught my little one to be an independent climber and has also helped him to open up his imagination.
We truly love being apart of the Gymboree family.
We would like to say a big thanks to Amber, Hannah, Sandra and Jack and to all of the other team members who gave are little boy a magical and special birthday but also keep us entertained every Monday in the advanced explorers class.

We had my son’s first birthday at Gymboree and Jack was fantastic! He helped set up, took an amazing class with the children, who were all of varying ages, listened to all our requests and helped tidy after. We arrived half an hour early to set up, and some of our guests arrived a little early too. Jack was so accommodating allowing the children to play in the playroom even though it was a little early. We also didn’t feel rushed to leave or end the party at an exact time. I would recommend a Gymboree party to anyone. My husband even suggested having his second birthday there already!

Couldn’t be happier with Gymboree! The drop off sessions are perfect for my 3yo, he absolutely loves them! The staff are all wonderful, so friendly and helpful. We love the Open Gyms and the classes too, a really lovely way to engage with your kiddos and spend some quality time together somewhere safe and built for them.

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 :-)
