Bambini used to be amazing — it truly felt like a family environment where both children and staff thrived. Unfortunately, since the change in ownership, the standard seems to have gone down. The staff no longer appear as engaged or happy, which may be a reflection of the new management and or the style of childcare they wish to provide. What once felt like a warm, nurturing place now feels more transactional, as though staff are treated as hired help rather than being valued extensions of family caring for our kids. It’s disappointing, as we’ve always valued Bambini for that sense of comfort and genuine care. I sincerely hope the new owners are able to restore the old Bambini spirit, because our kids deserve the best care — especially at the premium rates they charge. For now, though, it sadly falls short of its former standard, many parents we know via bambini have already changed to another centre and I simply would not recommend them at this time and suggest to research other options before deciding.

I have had two daughters both attend Bambini House, and I can't speak highly enough of the centre. It's one of a kind, and they truly make each child feel so special. The educators are second to none, extremely knowledgable and very caring of each child. They also make a big effort in communicating the Childs progress to each family, with daily updates and pictures, as well as monthly reports. The centre itself is a lovely space, indoors and outdoors. The resources available to each child are also wonderful. As a family, we are so grateful for the care and support we received for each child over the past few years from Bambini House.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bambini House has been more than a preschool for us; it's become an extension of our home. Our journey here has been extraordinary, and though my children have already graduated, the impact remains profound. Bambini isn't just a place of learning; it's a space where our little ones grew into authentic individuals, embracing kindness, respect, and emotional intelligence. The educators at Bambini are not just teachers; they are listeners, conversationalists, and believers in every child. The support from the entire Bambini community has been incredible. Being part of this ecosystem was our privilege. Thank you, Bambini House, for contributing to the strong foundations of our little ones. This magical place will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

About Bambini House Child Care and Pre-School

Bambini House’s philosophy is deeply inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational approach, founded by Northern Italian educator Loris Malaguzzi. Collaboration between our educators, our children and their families is vital and we constantly strive to nurture and support this connection.

As educators we wholeheartedly believe that each child is competent, inventive, imaginative and brimming with ideas and theories about the world around them. Hence we encourage independence and self-expression by embracing a holistic approach to education that is child-centered. We have a deep respect for each child and therefore nurture their individual learning process by recognising potential and provoking thought, action, conversation and artistic expression. Bambini House provides each child with a comfortable and happy environment to learn in; they can be themselves and have, at their fingertips, endless opportunities to encounter, interact and accomplish. As educators we bring our knowledge to the children in an authentic yet playful manner.

We also honour our sense of place as a learning experience. Bambini House is a heritage building steeped in tradition and we are dedicated to celebrating it through our daily activities. The marks we have made on the building as a community are profound; each room of the house is imbued with our stories, theories, artworks and experiences; a pedagogical documentation within itself.
