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.

Best staff ever! They are flexible, friendly, experienced and carring. They are very crestive and organise lots of intetesting activities. My son loves go with them on walks, trips to the farm, softplays etc. Children spend lots of time outdoor. My son has grown his confidence and develops his communication skills. I can highly recommend Yumbo Daycare

On first impressions you will be taken back on Yumbo’s location, as I’m sure everyone was but once you get past that you will see it really is a diamond in the rough. Also with its set
back location it really is nice to know that there will be no strange passers by while your little ones are there.
I can’t say enough brilliant and amazing things about Yumbo and the staff. They genuinely care about your child and always have their best interests at heart. With such small and personal settings, I can almost guarantee your child will get far more attention and support at Yumbo than any other nursery you will find, which my wife and myself will agree that it’s advanced our daughter in every area of her short life and has far exceeded our expectations.
Their frequent trips out away from the nursery to Colchester Zoo, Boydells Farm, Southweald Country Park, Braintree Museum or even just a lovely nature walk down the Flitch really are a highlight for my daughter and really gets her excited to go back.
In the time my daughter has been at Yumbo we have not had one single complaint or worry, everything is perfect and I know exactly where our second child will be heading.
You really can’t go wrong with this nursery, ABSOLUTELY 5 STAR!!!!!!!!

My daughter loves this nursery,so do I. Great team and management, always flexible, always happy to help. My daughter was non english speaking child when she started nursery,the team done everything to help her with english language. I will not count how many trips she is had from the nursery including colchester zoo, stick man trail etc. She can not wait to start her forest school. She loves phonics lessons and jo jingles weekly visits. Children spend lots of time outside which she loves. There is no better place to start your child journey then yumbo.

My little boy has been at Yumbo's for 6 months, since he turned 2. He has really grown in confidence since starting and loves all the Yumbo ladies. They're all so kind, thoughtful and caring and I really feel like they genuinely enjoy looking after my son. He has been on loads of trips including the zoo, walks to the park, Tiptree Jam Factory and more, and they send lots of pictures of him doing all sorts of activities in the nursery. They also spend a lot of time in the garden. They celebrate a huge range of holidays with fun and imaginative activities and I've received some lovely homemade gifts. They've also been helping him to work towards his milestones and have been honest about what he needs more support with at home. So they might not have a big shiny building, brand new toys or gourmet catering but children don't need that - they need care, support and fun - which this nursery has oodles of! And it's great value for money too!

We moved back from London and I needed to find a nursery for my little girl, I come across Yumbo and my little girl joined in from the start! She has progressed so quick, all thanks to the caring, understanding and reassuring staff. I'm so pleased I found these guys. My little girl is definitely very happy there too! ☺️
