Gymbo Graduates – The Penn Family
All 4 little Penn children at Gymboree Play & Music Solihull!
Thank you to Gymbo graduates Emma and Chris Penn for this wonderful story about bringing all 4 of their children to Gymboree Play & Music Solihull over the years!
4 Gymbo Graduates!
We have just started Gymboree Play & Music baby classes with our 4th baby! All of our other children have done Gymbo classes right from the age of 6-8 weeks til they started school. It has always been our number 1 activity to do with them. At one point we had our 4 year old, 2 year old and 6 week old all enrolled in a different class each week and we were at Gymboree Play & Music nearly every day!
The Solihull Team
We have known Jennie and the team for 8 years now and they have always been so friendly and welcoming, right from when we turned up for our eldest’s first baby class as new parents 8 years ago. All of the teachers really focus on building a lovely and personal relationship with the parents and children. They are so interested in what the children have to say and how the family are, this sort of thing really makes a difference. Our children have always loved the teachers they have had, and when grandparents have brought our children to classes whilst we were working, they have been made to feel really welcome and comfortable in the environment too!
The Classes
As well as the atmosphere and the teachers, another thing that we have always loved about Gymboree Play & Music is obviously what we do in the classes. The classes are designed to make space for you to have fun and to focus fully on happy experiences with your child, especially amongst busy and hectic days as a parent. The baby classes are magical! We have so many special memories from these with all of our children. The rhymes, props, music, movements and activities are all so great for babies’ development and bonding! The classes in the main playroom for crawlers, walkers and runners are skillfully designed so that a variety activities use children’s imagination whilst developing their physical and social skills. The equipment is really unique in terms of being totally safe but also fun for adventurous children!
The fact that the whole family really enjoy coming to Gymboree Play & Music is what has kept us coming back. Our 8 and 6 year old are now too old for the equipment but would still love to go back if they could, and have already asked if they can help in the baby classes with our youngest when they are on school holidays!
