My son has been attending little bam bams curiosity village since he was 9 months old, he is now 3! All the members of staff are really supportive and communicate everything that my son is doing throughout the day via their app which of course is easing for any parent. I cannot fault the care given to my son and he loves the days he is in ☺️ very thankful to have come across such a caring setting.

My little girl has been attending since she was 14 months old. The settling in process was handled really well and with sensitivity. All staff are approachable, kind and attentive, as well as professional. I have no concerns with leaving my daughter in their care. You get regular updates through an app through days they are there, in addition to developmental observations and photos.

The care at little bam bams is amazing; both the childminders and the curiosity village. My little one started just before age 1 and settled so well, building really positive relationships with the staff. She has moved on to the village now and I am really impressed with her transition and how I have been included in every step. She has settled well and I love the village design and activities provided. 100% recommended.
