I can’t recommend this nursery enough! After a terrible experience with my last nursery Bambooh really stepped up. My son has come along in such a short time of being there. He loves it there. Mile is so kind and caring about the children in her setting. She always keeps in touch and listens to the parents. The ladies in the rooms are incredible! Kind, patient and so helpful! They go above and beyond for the children in their settings. Well done ladies!

We love Bambooh and all the team there. All of the teaching staff care deeply about each and every child, and it shows when the kids come home desperate to go back in the next day! Couldn’t ask for a nicer setting too. Would definitely recommend.

Having to send my son to nursery was a difficult decision. I struggled with it until we became part of the bambooh experience and family. No regrets and – if you can find a space – highly recommend.
