My son joined gymboree since he was around 6 months old. He's 2 now, and he still enjoys the session very much. The session also helped him first to crawl, then walk; now he's running around and climbing everywhere. The host really helped with his development, and he is especially very comfortable with Amber.

Cannot recommend Gymboree Watford enough--truly THE BEST! ❤️🙌 What makes it so special are the amazing teachers/staff, especially Amber, Jack, Philippa, and Hannah! They’re not only incredibly talented in music and arts, but they’re also absolutely fantastic with kids of all ages.
My little girl was only 18 months old when we first discovered this wonderful place and started attending sessions. She’s now 5 years old, and we’re still here! That says it all 🥰

We love taking our son to Gymboree, we only started in January but wish we’d started soon. It’s a great place to develop movement skills in particular but they also develop social skills, motor skills and more. We decided to sign up monthly as we feel it’s different from other classes available and the open gym is so much fun. Also we loved the Easter party, so much fun and we got to take a little shaker egg home, which is such a great idea! Amber is our favourite but all the staff are super lovely and interact with our son so well.

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!

I genuinely believe that so many of my daughter’s milestones have been reached early because of the time she spends here. She was talking, walking, climbing, and exploring ahead of her peers, and I credit so much of that to the incredible environment and activities here. The space itself is wonderful — safe, clean, and full of opportunities for little ones to run, jump, climb, and burn off energy without any worries. But for me, Gymboree has been just as important as it has been for my daughter, especially as a mum without a village. ...What I didn’t realise was how much I would gain. I’ve made lifelong friendships and found a support network of the most incredible people.
