bambooh’s Intent
We intend for every child at bambooh Early Years Academies to reach their fullest genetic potential by embedding a growth mindset through stimulating, challenging activities and education surrounded by a safe, loving, and supportive environment.
By doing so, we, as bambooh Adventuneers set a sound foundation upon which our bambooh children can build a life motivated to challenge themselves to strive to be and do better constantly.
bambooh families feedback…
Tasca 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.”

Early Years Development
Your child’s development will be built on a sound foundation of 35 years hands-on early years development experience. Part of what sets us apart is ‘The bambooh Way’, our very own tried and tested development protocol which places your child’s potential at the centre of everything we do.
Safe Environments
One of our core values is to not compromise on our bambooh kids’ safety and special spaces. We believe behaviour is influenced by environment so you’ll find settings that promote security, where both teacher and children brim with excitement to learn, discover and play, every day.
Healthy Body and Mind
It’s wisdom as old as the mountains; a healthy body promotes a healthy mind. We believe you can’t get away from the fact that quality of nutrition is linked to enhanced development in our bambooh kids.

Judging by the impressive outcomes she achieves with the bambooh children in her care, one would never guess that Faith doesn’t have at least a decade of experience in the early years field.

We believe that ‘Special Educational Needs and Disabilities’ isn’t a label or part of our bambooh S.E.N.D child’s identity but rather a super valuable map to help us develop our kids to their fullest genetic potential.
We believe that nobody’s a nobody, and we’re all a little weird in our own way, which means there’s nothing to compare. At bambooh, we celebrate uniqueness and diversity, which means we welcome all kinds of friends to come and learn all sorts of things together.
