I started Gymboree about 18 months ago with my eldest and she absolutely loved every minute of it and was extremely sad when she could no longer go due to starting pre school. My baby has also been doing the classes since she was 4 months old and she is now in the level 3 class. Gymboree is a great place to watch your child grow from a tiny baby to a toddler and then onto school age. The classes are very well structured and each theme only runs for 2 weeks so it never gets boring. Also have the option of the open play is a big bonus. The teachers are all warm and welcoming and you can tell they all have a passion for their jobs this is especially true with Claire who does the baby classes.
