Born in 2008
It all started in 2008 with 6 children in a converted double garage with a single window, steel roller doors and a decent lawn in Pretoria, South Africa. Fast forward 4 years and bambooh flowered into a group of day nurseries across Pretoria serving over 140 children.
This rapid success allowed us to realise a life long dream, to bring our proven recipe for success to the UK and so…here we are! When a family joins bambooh they become part of our rich story that started in that converted double garage in Pretoria, and when they become part of our story, they become part of our growing 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.”
