Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Yumbo. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
We looked around quite a few Nurseries to find the best one and we instantly knew on meeting Corrine and the team that Yumbo was going to be the best settings for our Daughter, Maisie. Maisie loves going to Nursery and is now more confident as a result of the excellent care that has taken place at her time there. I would thoroughly recommend that you send your children to Yumbo. As parents, we are incredibly grateful to the team, espically Shannon who has grown a strong bond with our daughter and given her valuable life skills she can use in her next setting. Thank you Team Yumbo!

My son has attended Yumbo Daycare for 2 years now; we are about to have our second child and have already reserved his space.
Yumbo provide a safe and positive environment that allows our son to express himself and develop and his own pace.
With experience based learning our son is able to have real world experiences with a wonderful team of childcare providers who really care about him.
If you are looking for a nursery I would thoroughly recommend visiting Yumbo.

Yumbo was such a great start for my boy Carter! They was so understanding that we was nervous our boy was leaving us and reassured us he’d be fine, they was right even though my boy is in reception now he still misses Yumbo! Thanks ladies for making our boy feel welcomed and apart of the Yumbo family we love and miss you all loads

My son attended Yumbo from September 2022-July 2024 and he absolutely loved every minute of it. The setting is in the grounds of a church and well away from the road and any passers by. Yumbo have a well structured daily routine which includes educational activities, outdoor play and things to help prepare children for the next step to big school. The staff are vastly experienced in childcare, flexible, approachable, happy, friendly, helpful and become part of your extended family. They provide regular communication regarding the progress your child is making and also work in partnership with parents so their learning journey goes from home to nursery and back again seamlessly. I chose Yumbo based on them providing a more outdoors type of learning as well as classroom based and this included ample trips out to places like Colchester Zoo, walks to the local library, museum and shops, Tiptree Jam Factory, Forest School, Maldon Petting Zoo, Colchester Castle, Boydells Farm and lots of others. This provides a unique and invaluable opportunity for learning in a different environment as well as developing your child’s social skills and confidence; something a lot of childcare providers do not give.
My son is now thriving in his Reception class at school and I have Yumbo to thank for this. His basic educational knowledge far exceeds that of some of his peers and by choosing Yumbo, I guarantee you are giving your child the best start possible!

Yumbo Daycare is a hidden gem tucked away from the busy road, providing a wonderful and secure location for children. The staff is fantastic, organizing frequent outings and offering a variety of activities such as phonics, Jo Jingles, and Mini Mindfulness. My child loved his time there.
