Amazing, friendly, happy, supportive environment for our babies to grow. The team are lovely and always approachable and helpful, my daughter loves attending nursery and I can feel confident in knowing she is cared for while I’m not around. Most definitely recommended. Thank you.

Review from Kate C (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Bambinos Woolwell for a while now and has come on leaps and bounds. Especially in his social and emotional development, his speech has improved massively. He thoroughly enjoys Bambinos and all the staff and talks about his day as soon as he gets home. My daughter has recently started Bambinos and I know she is well looked after, she has a communication delay which is currently being investigated and I feel she is fully supported at the nursery. I’m updated daily on what she has done, how she has responded etc which is very comforting when it comes to having a child who can’t communicate themselves. I can’t thank all the staff enough for what they do with my children!

Review from Dale (Father of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From our initial visit to the present day, the care, friendliness, attentiveness, professionalism and standards we have received have been outstanding.
We were very nervous as to leaving our baby, but the manager and the team have been amazing. They are so reassuring and supportive that we have not looked back once.

The biggest testament to their standards is the fact our child is so very happy, as are we. We would recommend Bambinos Woolwell to all our families and friends in a heartbeat. We cannot fault them in any way.

Overall Experience

Bambinos have helped my son a lot with social skills and speech and made me able to continue to work in the care sector while coronavirus was around. My son loves all the staff and they do all they can to help him and us as parents. I and my husband have very weird hour jobs and they always try their best to help!

Overall Experience
I can’t express enough how lovely the Woolwell Bambinos is!
My son has been attending since he was 11 months and is now 3, he is always naming the staff team and role-playing nursery at home, he often draws pictures wanting to gift them to the team!
He is always excited to see who will come to the door in the mornings and keen to get in and begin the play!
I have recommended Bambinos Woolwell to a number of friends, whose children now attend and they all love it too!

So glad to have a wonderful safe space for my boy whilst I work and close to home too!

Review from Sherafghan G (Father of Child) published on 7 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very adaptable and friendly approach to childcare. Will work around my little ones to ensure they are eating, playing and developing as they should. The toys aren't straight out of the shop, I can do that myself. Instead there are structured thought out toys and activities that my daughters have clearly enjoyed and learnt from. The carers clearly know their children and we've never had an issue of negligence or carelessness with food or nappies.

Overall Experience

The care my child receives at Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell is fantastic. The staff are very attentive and know my child well and look after their development. There is always someone available to talk through any concerns and they provide great feedback about the day. Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell feels like an extension of family life and I can trust that my child is having a wonderful time and being well cared for whilst learning all the time.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Bambinos nursery for over a year now and after a bad experience at a previous establishment, we were unsure whether to send him. I’m so glad we did. Since being with Bambinos he has come on in leaps and bounds with his speech, learning, communication and relationships. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you to all the staff at Woolwell, you do a fantastic job.

Overall Experience

Couldn't recommend Bambinos enough. They have been fantastic with my son who has been coming to this nursery since he was 11 months old and is now nearly 3 years old. They have always been so helpful with changing of days etc as a working Mum that can make such a difference when you are trying to juggle everything. My Daughter will also be attending in March.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Bambinos Woolwell, my son has found nursery difficult in the past and his behaviour can be challenging but with Bambinos help and continued support he is showing amazing improvements and continues to develop every day. The nursery has shown great patience, care, and kindness. Whilst helping my son they have also helped me with communicating ideas, support, and ways of working together. He loves all the staff and children at nursery and asks every day to go! Amazing place.

Overall Experience

Our son loves Bambinos Woolwell and learns a lot all of the time. After a negative experience elsewhere facing weekly problems, we were worried about how he would get on, but we haven’t had a single issue in 8 months. The staff are always really friendly and we feel completely at ease with him there. He clearly has a lot of fun and so do the other children from what we have seen. They always seem to get up to fun activities and we love hearing about his day. We’re so happy we sent him here and will be sending his brother next year!

Review from Lauryn J (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell enough!
The staff are amazing and they have always gone above and beyond to accommodate my children’s needs.
My eldest son is autistic and we wouldn’t have had a diagnosis if it wasn’t for Bambinos staff and their knowledge.
They made a quiet, sensory room for him which he loved, flash cards, a 1-1 and the staff even went to his school with him to make the transition as calm and smooth as possible for when he started school.
They really went beyond what we could have ever imagined from a nursery!
My youngest son now attends and is reaching all of his goals. He is so happy there. He loves all of the staff and his friends.

An excellent nursery where nothing is too much trouble.

Overall Experience

My twins started here in October 2018 and since then they have blossomed. They could barely say two words together but in the space of 6 months, they are talking in sentences and have really thrived with their development.

This is all thanks to Bambinos Woolwell. The manager and her team are absolutely incredible and my children adore them. I’m very grateful for them and my children are very happy here.

Review from Karen B (Grandmother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, they help the children develop key skills for when they start mainstream school. Also if they feel a child needs extra help they will look at getting assessments done and putting the help in place. The staff are also there to help and support the family if they have any problems or concerns. They have helped my granddaughter so much over the past 18 months with all of her developmental problems, supporting my son and helping him to develop ways to help his daughter.

Overall Experience
Easter stay and play put on by the staff was a really enjoyable afternoon.
There was a lot of thought put into the Easter egg hunt and the other activities. The children got to bring home a pot of seeds in that they planted as part of the stay and play.

The staff interacted with the children well and we were made to feel very welcome.

Review from Tracy W (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms are well lit and interactive for the children of the age group per room.
My daughter loves to be outside and knowing that this is part of the nursery's daily planning supports her and encourages her, not only in development but to enjoy her days with them.
The support I have received over a 10 month period in regards to my husband being deployed was also appreciated in regards photos being emailed to him to ensure he was not missing out on all of her days.
There is not a staff member at the nursery to whom my daughter will not go to and I find this comforting in regards to moving rooms at certain ages/points of development.
I am happy with how they work with my daughter in regards to challenging development and working with us as parents

The fact that my daughter asks to see some staff members on her days off nursery speaks volumes.

Melissa Williams Job Title: Manager
Melissa Williams

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.
