It started in 2009
Six children in a converted double garage Pretoria, South Africa with a single window, steel roller doors and a decent lawn. The global recession was in full swing and placed pressure on many households across the world, including ours. It made sense to come together as a family and build a new business on the foundations of Mum’s 35 years early years experience.
Four years later and bambooh boomed into a group of day nurseries serving over 140 children. This success allowed us to realise a long dream to grow into the UK market and so, here we are.
What this amazing journey have taught us is that family is key and if we are to prosper we need each other to thrive. When you join bambooh you don’t just get day care, you become part of this amazing story that started in that converted double garage in Pretoria, you become part of our bambooh Family.

“Having to send my son to nursery was a difficult decision. I struggled with it until we became part of the bambooh experience; it truly feels like we’ve become part of a family. No regrets and – if you can find a space – highly recommend.”
“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.”
