Gymboree Play & Music offers a wide range of progressive toddler activities at our centres across the UK. Toddler classes are so much more than a fun activity for your little one and you. There are huge benefits too! It’s a really important phase of child development.
From 10 months through their first year, to two years old, they will take dramatic strides forward in all areas of development. And so, it’s critical that they are exposed to experiences and environments which will help them blossom. All of which they can find in toddler classes.
It’s a fascinating time, where they seem to hit new landmarks on a weekly basis. This includes in their physical, cognitive, emotional and social development, in language and sensory and motor skills. It’s a time when they are making sense of the world around them, developing relationships and acquiring new skills.
In attending toddler classes with their peers in a stimulating environment, children make visible progress. Activities like art classes, music classes, open play, gym classes for crawlers, walkers and even runners, toddlers will become school ready and have a lot of fun along the way!
Our toddler programme is designed by child development experts to nurture physical, social, and cognitive skills in a progressive manner. And each teacher uses a custom designed curriculum to challenge and foster development, building crucial skills to support a lifetime of learning.
Which is why families can be assured they are in the right place. Our expert-designed classes scooped the winners prize as the UK’s Most Loved Sport or Physical Activity Classes at the What’s On 4 Kids Awards 2021.

Each Gymboree Play & Music Centre also offers occasional special events for babies and toddlers, This includes Halloween, and Christmas. And as the global leader in early development programmes, our classes help to develop the cognitive, physical and social skills of toddlers as they learn. They also provide you with the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded families.
Our toddler classes are designed by experts for children aged 10-28 months. Each class enables little learners to develop problem solving skills through interactive games, play and music.

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.
