What's On 4 Kids Awards 2021 trophy

It was such a magical night in wonderful company and beautiful surroundings. This award means so much to us because it’s voted for by you, our Gymboree Play & Music members, and we’ve been working towards this win for a long time. Thank you so much to all of you who voted for us, we’re very grateful.

We’d also like to congratulate the other finalists in our category, it’s obviously been a very difficult year for us all and we were so pleased to see many of you face to face!

It was so wonderful to see some of our fantastic franchisees who were nominated in their categories, we hadn’t seen them face to face for ages either! Congratulations to Gymboree Play & Music’s Chiswick, Wimbledon, Norwich, and Sevenoaks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Finally, thank you to the amazing team at What’s On 4 for organising such a fabulous Awards ceremony, and to Thinksmart Software who sponsored our category.

So if you’ve never been to Gymboree Play & Music and would like to know what all the fuss is about, get in touch with your local centre and come along to a class!

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 :-)
