My daughter has been attending since November 2016 and prior to that we tried a different setting where my daughter just wouldn't settle.
I find yumbo's staff to be very caring and extremely passionate about what they do which is why my daughter settled so well. They build bonds and take time to do so, which is so important with such little minds.
Previous experience with other settings is that most just do a job and go home. With yumbo's it's a different type of setting where they are 100% more interactive, more interested in what the children want, more caring and mainly more interested in what the children need on a daily basis.
I wouldn't pick any other type of child care. My daughter will stay here until school and I am so happy that she is in good hands.

My daughter has been attending Yumbo since November 2016 for settling in and started 2 days per week from January when she was 1 year old and I went back to work. Corrine, Amanda and the team have been brilliant at helping my daughter to become confident and made every effort to help settle her (as she was never away from myself or partner before). My daughter loves it there and isn't even bothered when I drop her off in the mornings! As a first time mum, the team have helped my return to work less stressful and I don't ever have to worry about my daughter as I know how much she loves the staff. She does a lot of craft and they go to the public gardens and library. I love her art work and know being at Yumbo is benefiting her learning! The team work hard all year round and are brilliant!

My 3 year old son started here January this year as I took him out of his old nursery due to the amount of injuries he had at his old nursery, and I couldn't send him there as they lied about what happened, Corrine was absolutely fantastic and as soon as I went there to look I was very happy to say the least any son took to it straight away, he's so good he didn't even need a settling in period and has excelled in everything since he's been in there care, I have even recommended yumbos to different people I'm meeting, on his first day there he went to forest school and loved it and made a bird seed ball, everyday there out doing different things, they know exactly what there doing and is more structured than his last nursery, he's come home with fun work which is homework so I have things to do with him at home, he's counting better , knows the alphabet better singing more songs what's to do more craft things, they also encourage and celebrate other cultures holidays, this Chinese New Year they ate noodles, I had a beautiful candle in a glass which he decorated for Valentine's Day, the nursery is outstanding , I can't wait to see what else they have planned for the future, and I also love the fact that I can log on to baby days and see what he's done each day and track his progress.

My 14 month old daughter has been attending Yumbo Daycare since Oct 2015, it was a difficult transition for me returning to work but this was made very easy by the staff at Yumbo. I spent months looking for somewhere that met my needs. My daughter has settled into the setting extremley well & loves the staff there. They do lots of outdoor activities, arts & crafts, attend regular playgroups-all of which she loves. I am updated daily on her development with electronic diaries. I cannot recommend this setting enough.

My 13 month old has been attending this nursery since October '15. His bond with the ladies who work here is lovely to see. Working in a school I have high expectations of the care my child receives and i am happy to say that I feel 100% comfortable leaving my son at Yumbo.
The children are regularly taken out on trips to petting centers, crèches, parks etc. There are always activities within the setting and my son is always coming home with drawings, models and craft he has made.
The EYFS is followed which is reflected in my sons progress.
I would recommend rhis setting to anyone.

My son started at Yumbo nursery four months ago and has settled in really well. They go out daily for walks to the park and day trips out, they went to a local garden centre before Christmas to see Santa Claus. I am very happy with the care that my son is receiving and the wonderful staff that work at Yumbo.

My son has been attending Yumbo for almost 2 years and I will stay until he goes to school. The care he receives is excellent and he's always telling me about his adventures when they go out and all the things he's learnt whilst there. I'd highly recommend Yumbo to anyone looking for reliable safe childcare.

I started looking for a childcare in November 2012 as I was going to come back to work in February 2013. Corrine was recommended to me by a friend. Our first meeting was a beginning of an amazing adventure for our son.
When we decided that we want Corrine and her assistants to look after Wiesiek, she helped us to set a daily routine to help him settle in more easily (meals and nap time).
When have I realised that I made the right decision? First week back to work and absolutely no worries about my son as I knew he is in the best hands.
Corrine and her assistants are very friendly and professional. They have helped us during early stages and always shared their knowledge and experience. We got all the support in tough times like "terrible two's" and potty training.
Wiesiek is now 3 years and 3 months old and loves going to Corrine's place. The children frequently visit various playgroups, farms, zoos, parks, museums etc. They have lots of parties throughout the year (Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Chineese New Year) and participate in local events, e.g. Tour de France 2014, Royal Family visiting Chelmsford etc.
We would highly recommend Corrine and her wonderful team to anyone as she was recommended to us 2,5 year ago.

I have 2 children Liam and Ella who, from 3 months old until they started school were cared for by Yumbo Childcare whilst I went to back to work.
Leaving your child for the first time is extremely daunting but Corrine understands this and supports both you and your child settle into a new routine. Before you know it your child is like part of the family!
My children were very happy to be left in the setting and this made a huge difference to me being able to go to work without worrying about them.
Corrine accommodated their routines and we worked together on any issues in relation to their development.
My children learned about different cultures and celebrations which they wouldn't have experienced at home. The preparation for school from both an educational and social perspective is invaluable!
I am so grateful to this website that allowed me to find Yumbo Childcare - my children have some wonderful memories and friendships thanks to them!
