Play, Learn, and Create at Gusto House 

At Gusto House, we are all about community, connection, and creativity. We are known for the exercise classes we host, but did you know we also host a range of activities for your little ones, too?  

Over the last year or so, we have developed a fantastic schedule of activities for pre-schoolers, young children, and babies right here in our studio. 

Whether you’re looking for a stay and play in Collingham, some devoted time for your children to get messy and explore their senses, or a place for your older children to find their voice, there are now several options available at Gusto House. 

Monday: Warble and Lark Children’s Choir 

Recently, we were thrilled to welcome Warble and Lark Children’s Choir. This is a Musical Theatre Choir specifically designed for children aged 8-13. 

Taking place every Monday at 5:30pm, it’s a fun, high-energy way for your children to build performance skills and grow in confidence.

Wednesday: Hand on Heart Parent and Baby Stay and Play 

Wednesday mornings at 9:45am are all about bonding with your baby, along with connecting with other parents and their children. Hand on Heart Parent and Baby Stay and Play sessions (ages 0-2) offer a beautiful, unstructured space run by Claire, an experienced Early Years Teacher. 

While the little ones explore, parents can enjoy a moment of peace with delicious treats and drinks, connecting with other local families in a supportive environment. 

An indoor play area featuring a pink patterned floor mat with various wooden toys, a white play teepee, a tunnel, and baskets of plush toys in a room with modern art on the walls.

Our Hand on Heart Parent and Baby Stay and Play sessions offer a beautiful, calm space for parents to relax while babies explore our range of sensory toys.

Thursday: Caterpillar Music

These sessions are perfect for babies and toddlers, involving plenty of singing, dancing, and sensory play to help those early developmental milestones.

Messy Play & Memories 

Beyond our weekly schedule, we are proud to host several ad hoc events that bring even more variety to the village. 

Splash and Mash: For the ultimate messy play experience! Aimed at little ones aged 6 months to 5 years, these sessions are all about creative fun and messy play, without the hassle of cleaning up! Keep an eye on their Facebook for upcoming dates here at Gusto House. 

Munchkin Baby Photography: We absolutely loved having Noelle here last year for her beautiful photography sessions and seasonal photoshoots. We are working hard to welcome her back in 2026! You can see her stunning work here.

A Space for Every Generation 

Gusto House is more than just a desk or a place dedicated to fitness; it’s a place where the children of Collingham can learn, grow, and be inspired. We invite you to bring your little ones along and discover the creative spark that makes our community so special.
