As a first-time mum, I was quite anxious because my daughter haa a bit of separation anxiety. However, my mind is completely at peace now after seeing how well she adjusted with the staff during her first session. The team is highly dedicated and caring, and I really felt that my daughter's specific needs were met beautifully.
Thank you Bambinos and keep up your good work.

My child has just started at Bambinos and we are having a really positive experience. The staff have been super friendly and accommodating and have taken the time to understand my child's needs and he seems to be enjoying his time there. The facilities are great and work really well for him, and it they are outdoors a lot which I think is great. The staff are always keeping me informed, whether that be in person or on the app so that is reassuring and feels like we're working as a team to look after my child!

We are delighted with Bambinos Woolwell. The management and staff go above and beyond for children in their care. All children appear settled and comfortable whenever i drop off or collect my son. There is a wide selection of fun and educational activities each day, safe outdoor spaces and nutritious food provided. The staff are so friendly and genuinely love and care for the children. My son gets so excited to go to nursery and is never upset being left in their care. The care and communication is second to none, from both key works and Melissa. We are so thankful for all of the staff at Bambinos Woolwell. Our son has recently started with seizures, but they sprung into action and immediatley arranged training and a care plan to cater for his needs. We couldnt ask for a better nursery

They always organise brilliant activities for the children, especially outdoor play in the garden, which our son absolutely loves. It's lovely knowing he gets so many opportunities to explore, play, and learn in a fun environment.
Since starting at the nursery, we've seen a huge improvement in his development. The team have been especially supportive in helping him with his walking, and it's been amazing to see how much his confidence and ability have grown.
We're really grateful for the care, attention, and encouragement they give him every day. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he's in such a positive and nurturing environment.

Since starting, his speech has come on leaps and bounds, and we've seen a huge improvement in his confidence. It's been lovely to watch him grow, develop, and become more independent in such a nurturing environment.
The outdoor space is fantastic and is one of his favourite parts of the day - he absolutely loves playing outside, which has really helped his confidence and physical development.
He also loves all the meals provided and often talks about the food at home, which is a real bonus! We feel reassured knowing he is happy, safe, and well cared for each day. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and stimulating setting for their child.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by a caring, friendly team who are clearly passionate about what they do. The staff are attentive, nurturing and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development, and it truly shows.
The children are visibly happy, settled and excited to attend. Our children love going every day, which gives us complete peace of mind. The food is excellent, healthy and clearly enjoyed, with empty plates as the norm.
Educationally, the nursery is fantastic. They strike a wonderful balance between fun and learning, making education engaging and age appropriate while preparing the children brilliantly for school. It feels like a warm, supportive community where children thrive, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any parent.

I then met Melissa, the manager at Bambinos, who was nothing but lovely, kind, and warm. Meeting her truly put my mind at ease about my baby girl starting in April.
Thank you so much to all the Bambinos staff - I'm so grateful for such a positive and reassuring experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to our staff. It was a pleasure to help you find a nursery that was right for you. We are so pleased you have decided to choose Bambinos for your childcare needs. If there is anything else you need before your daughter starts in April please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The manager and the team have made my daughters experience at nursery incredible! From being sceptical at first she now loves it. Bambinos offered me multiple settling sessions to ensure my daughter felt comfortable in the new surroundings. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your daughter has grown to love her time at nursery - it's completely natural to feel a bit unsure at first, so we're really glad the settling sessions helped make the transition a positive one. It means a lot to hear you'd recommend us, and we truly appreciate your support.
Bambinos Nursery is providing a wonderful service. My son just started and enjoyed the place. The strength of Bambinos is a very friendly and caring staff. Thank you for your kindness.

Would highly recommend this nursery to family & friends and would certainly consider future children to attend the nursery in the near future.

The staff have worked wonders with our two SEN children over the last 2 years. They go above and beyond to ensure that the children are stimulated, engaged and learning while letting them be themselves. We have seen so many positive behaviours from our children which they have picked up from their time here. We couldn't recommend this nursery enough to anyone looking for a safe, friendly and happy environment.

Bambinos Woolwell have been nothing but excellent! As foreigners in a new country and not understanding the UK's childcare system, the Bambinos management team have been extremely supportive. Also, the level of care provided for my daughter has been exceptional; she's excelled in all aspects of her development from infant to toddler thus far, in large part thanks to Bambino's staff. The staff are friendly, approachable, caring, easy to talk to, always willing to listen to any concerns, and genuinely seem passionate about their work and the children they care for. I could not recommend this nursery highly enough.

I am very grateful for all the support my son received at Bambinos Childcare Centre. He's very active and sometimes hard to settle him down but everyone has been very good with him and giving me handover all the time about how his day was and what he needs to improve. It's a bit difficult for us being from another country (Romania) but my son settled very well there. Always he's playing in the garden with the kids or doing some activities with the teachers. I am very happy and 10/10, I recommend Bambinos Nursery. The managers, because now we have two, are very good and always they listen to any questions I have and they advise me on what's best to do. I like the environment there and if I have a second child, definitely will go there again. Thank you for everyone's support. Much appreciate it.

My daughter loves going to nursery, she knows her routine, wakes up and will talk about nursery and the staff. She comes home and talks about what she's done and who with. They do all different fun activities, inside and outside! She has so many friends and the nursery workers teach them all how to play nicely together, share, manners and much more! One member of staff, in particular, is always around to help with any questions I may have too.

Hi, I’m Melissa. I began my journey with Bambinos 15 years ago as an apprentice and have grown alongside the nursery ever since, progressing through a range of roles to become Nursery Manager.
Over the years, I’ve achieved my Level 2 and 3 qualifications, worked in Senior and Deputy roles, and completed my Level 5 qualification in leadership. Having experienced almost every role within the nursery, I have a strong understanding of what makes a child’s experience truly special.
I am passionate about supporting children to flourish and reach their milestones, while building strong, supportive relationships with families throughout their time with us.
As a mum of two boys, I understand what parents look for when choosing a nursery. Outside of work, I enjoy family adventures and travelling to explore new places.
I would love to welcome you to our nursery in Woolwell and show you around, so you can experience our warm and nurturing environment for yourself.
