Updated 9th Dec 2021

We have a few simple play policies in place to keep everyone safe and ensure you and your little one have the best experience.  By enrolling as a member you agree to abide by these policies.

  • Get ready – take your shoes off!
  • Adults must wear socks, children go barefoot.
  • Once again face coverings are now mandatory, unless exempt.
  • Please sanitise your and your little one’s hands before and after class.
  • Always stay within a hug’s reach of your child.
  • It’s play time!  No calls or texts in class please.
  • Only use your camera with prior permission.
  • Food and drinks are not allowed in class.
  • Please put all mouthed toys into the cleaning basket after use.
  • Most importantly, only bring your child to class if they’re healthy.  We have a flexible make up policy so you won’t miss out.
  • And of course, join in and have fun!

Whilst Covid 19 is still circulating we will obviously continue to follow Government guidance.  If we have a positive case in class we will pass the necessary information to NHS Test and Trace.

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!

Cannot recommend Gymboree Play & Music 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 🥰

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.
