“A genuinely caring group of teachers who make every effort to create an interesting, fun and friendly environment for the children and their carers. They go the extra mile to try and get to know the kids and the carers and build a relationship.”

“What can I say about gymboree? It's professionalism out performs all other groups in its class. It offers a haven to mums a wealth of ideas and classes which have encouraged my daughters development enormously. We have enjoyed every minute of gymboree. Being a new mummy is hard and gymboree gave me a safe space and structure every week. It feels comfortable and as a children's literacy specialist with very high standards in the area of early years literacy, it met those standards and exceeded them. This is I have to say predominantly due to Katie. Natalie and Lucie are both excellent, but Katie is amazing. Her voice, inclusive demeanour and rapport with the children comes from within and makes for a wonderful gymboree experience. Thank you for making my first year as a mummy all the nicer and teaching Sophie so much. We will miss gymboree”

“We have been going to Gymboree Islington and Hackney for about 1.5 years. Our little one is now almost 21 months old. He has been doing both Play & Lean and Music. Both classes have been very good since we started. Although it seems that teachers change very frequently, they deliver the same quality of classes. The only issue that I see is cancelling and booking classes as make-up. When I try to call them, often they are not available. So I use email, but I do not get quick response. If I can cancel a class, see the number of make-up classes to use, and actually book them online, it would probably save staff's time as well as our time!”

“Love taking Marnie to Gymboree. She's 20 months now and has been attending for over a year. She gets so excited when we enter the building. All the staff are lovely. Place is always clean. Equipment is in good condition, changing the set up keeps them stimulated. Baby changing kept to high standard. Plenty of high chairs for feeding before or after. Highly recommend.”

“My son does enjoy the lessons but I feel it's the same activities every lesson and I'm not sure if my son would enjoy a higher level because he seems to be a bit advanced. Other than this it's fun”

Hi there Gymboree member, thanks so much for your feedback. It is so important to hear from you as it shows the Gymboree team that we need to support carers more by better sharing the benefits of repetition. As you may know, Gymboree programmes are all devised and updated by experts in childhood development and done so in a way that each class level has a similar structure with the same lesson plan being repeated over two weeks. At Gymboree we know that infants' learning is experience dependent and that the repetition of experiences is literally building your little one's brain! We therefore aim for all of our classes to have a balance between novel activities which provide challenge and repetitive activities to support learning and harness confidence. All of our classes are aimed to meet the developmental needs of the whole child and consequently have such small age brackets. We appreciate however that nobody knows your son like you do so if you still feel the same at your next visit, please come and speak with the team and we can discuss finding your son a more appropriate class. Many thanks, Jenny. (Head Teacher, Gymboree Hackney & Islington).

“Totally recommended!”

“My daughter is 10 months old and absolutely loved her class. The teacher was so enthusiastic and lovely with the children. I would highly recommend Gymboree play and music to anyone”

“Our daughter loves Gymboree. I have been to classes in the USA too and I love that they are so consistent. The staff is very organized and run great classes. My only feedback for improvement would be that a few times we have had teachers in training and the classes have been a bit disorganized and awkward. I think the trainees should have a bit more practice before they run a class. Also, we had to wait quite a while to get into a level 3 class so perhaps capacity could be improved.”

“The staff are very friendly and classes structured well. Overall very happy! A few things that would be nice: - it'd be great if you had a dads sensory class. I'm sure a lot of dads would go if there was something on the weekend that they could attend. - the sensory stations could be updated Thanks!”

“My daughter has been attending baby sensory play Sessions at Gymboree since she was 10 weeks old. She responds really well to the songs and activities and loves the interaction with other babies. As a parent, the sessions have also given me ideas for age-appropriated playtime activities.”

“Lulu and Emily have been lovely at Chiswick nurturing B with patience and genuine care and interest over the last year as he has gained hugely in confidence and skills at the multi Sports drop off.”

“Love the interaction between the teachers and the toddlers. Also love the fact that toddlers are not pushed to participate in the activities but rather encouraged to join. My son is one of the few that would rather run up and down the ramps and climb everything than sit down. And it's great that they have started to give out name badges for parents as you no longer refer to someone as the parent of X :)”

“My Daughter recently had a 'Princesses and Super Heroes' Gymboree Party for her birthday. My daughter & her friends all had such a great time and all the parents complimented how well the party went. I cannot praise how well the session was led, and all the kiddies from all ages really enjoyed themselves! I will be highly recommending Gymboree parties to all friends and family!”
