Love this place, as does my 2 year old. We?ve been going for almost a year. Jess and Charlie are absolutely lovely, really good teachers and incredible at building connections with the children. It?s well organised and well structured. Highly recommend

My daughters adore little gym and it's become a really key part of our weekly routine and their development. Supporting fine and gross motor skills, language, social and relationship skills whilst also having fun. I've enjoyed the bonding moments in parent and child classes and now love watching my eldest thrive in her independent class. We always feel welcome and a part of the little gym family. Such a treat to have little gym on our door step.

Our daughter has been attending The Little Gym for 8 months and we couldn't be happier with the experience. What sets this gymnastics school apart is their ability to blend learning with fun. The classes are filled with games, challenges, and creative activities that keep her engaged and excited.It's the highlight of our toddler's week!The heart and soul of The Little Gym undoubtedly lies in its passionate staff. They go above and beyond to nurture our daughters gymnastic talents. Their patience, infectious enthusiasm, and genuine love for teaching shines through in every class and camp.We look forward to many more years of exciting growth, joy, and achievements.Thank you to the team for making Maya's early years so special!

Both of my children attend the Little Gym Harpenden and we have loved it since day 1. The parent and child classes have a lovely atmosphere and give you time to bond with your child. Staff are friendly, professional and helpful and create lovely bonds with adults and children.My son attended the holiday camp and had a great time- we ended up booking extra days. The extra activities they put on just add to the little gym community. My children would be here everyday if they could.We can?t wait to continue our new classes this September

My son has been attending The Little Gym in Harpenden for about 3 years. He is five now and still absolutely loves it.When he was small the parent and child classes were such a fun way to bond with him, doing something physical which he loved, and not just the typical baby group where he?d be climbing the walls and I?d be chasing after him.As he?s grown older the classes are always fun and varied and the teachers are all fantastic, full of energy and enthusiasm, not to mention their impressive gym skills. I love that I can sit in the comfortable waiting area and watch the class through the big windows but also I get an hour to switch off and read a book (or scroll Facebook!).Lots of his friends comment on his strength and muscles and he always tells them he got them at gymnastics! Every week I am impressed by his growing skill set but the biggest reason I recommend Little Gym is really nothing to do with Gymnastics, it?s because the challenge and positivity is SO good for his resilience and self esteem. One day after gym he told me that he today in Gym he learnt that ?usually doing the actual thing is easy, the hardest part is having the confidence to try? and another time he told me that when he finally managed a skill he?d been working on for a long time that he felt funny in his tummy, and we realised what he felt was proud. I think this learning is pretty much priceless!Thanks Little Gym team - we love you!

Both kids have been going since 2018, and look forward to going every week. The teachers are so patient and fun, and our kids (5 & 3) are so confident in all their physical activities. I can?t recommend it highly enough, thanks to all the team!

As a whole family, we wholeheartedly recommend The Little Gym Harpenden. Mum, Dad, Uncle, Granny and Grandpa have all been to participate in or watch the fun, physical and educational classes! Our little one started when she was 4 months old, and her overall development, confidence and coordination over the last 6 months has really flourished! The staff at The Little Gym Harpenden are welcoming, friendly and professional - they are experts in child development and they know their stuff! The Little Gym Harpenden was recommended to us by other parents who have seen positive results in their children and we will continue to recommend the classes to other parents we meet. This has been the best baby class I have experienced, and I went to many while I was on maternity leave. It?s not local for me, but definitely worth it. Now I have returned to work, this is the class I prioritise for my daughter and I ensure her Grandpa or myself can take her each week. I would love for her to go for the next 12 years and build on these early skills! It my view that it is a long term investment in my child?s future that will support her in all areas of learning. The safe, nurturing, and supported environment at the gym allows for my little one to be creative and build on the skills she?s developed at her own rate. The Little Gym staff equip parents and family members with the knowledge, confidence and next steps to build on these skills at home and in the gym. It is a delight to see my daughter grow in confidence and coordination at such a young age (10 months!). I am thankful to have the support of The Little Gym Harpenden team guide me, and my family through these crucial years of development for my daughter. Thank you! The opportunity to chat to other parents, help ourselves to tea and coffee, and attend additional classes and themed (Halloween and Christmas) parties are all a lovely bonus. I look forward to the holidays where I can attend the classes myself with my daughter and the extra tumble and tea sessions.

My son (and I!) adore The Little Gym, I cannot recommend the staff and lessons more highly. We started off by coming to a Christmas party and now my son has been attending weekly for nearly 10 months and his lesson is absolutely the highlight of his week. Where he can feel anxious in certain situations, he's incredibly comfortable and confident in class, thanks to their nurturing nature and loves the skills he's learning. After attending the Halloween party yesterday my son got in the car and said to me "Mummy, I just love The Little Gym. My teachers are all so lovely and kind to me". I couldn't agree with him more!

Both my children absolutely love the atmosphere, fun, and excitement that the staff of the little gym harpendon offer.. they have both acquired a wealth of skills and have grown in confidence tremendously over the past few years as members with you. In my opinion the best activity offered for all kids in the area.

The work of Amy and all the team at The Little Gym is second-to-none. They bring so much experience, passion, ability and expertise to this wonderful, imaginative work with early years. It's astonishing how great the impact is, and how much we've seen our children's confidence grow as a result if working with them. I can't recommend highly enough!
