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.

Hear what our bambooh families have to say…

Sacha S.

“Having to send my son to nursery was a difficult decision. I struggled with it until we became part of the bambooh experience and family. No regrets and – if you can find a space – highly recommend.”

Holly K.

“Fantastic Nursery and Wrap Around Care. Our children love it there and all the staff are truly wonderful.”

Emily W.

“We’re really pleased with the nursery, all the staff are lovely and its obvious our child enjoys being there! We love the setting and the fact its not too big / not too small. I highly recommend it!“

Coffee or Tea?

“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.”
