Highly recommended! Staff and carers are all very caring, easy to talk to and genuinely cares about the children's health, well-being and school readiness. My son has been going there since he was 3 years old and he's now more than ready to head to kindy. They even cater for his dietary requirements.

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years
Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and a child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Preschool children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Preschool year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, are supported through group learning experiences. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the Preschool year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Kourtney is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Kourtney is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Kourtney has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Kourtney a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Kourtney and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Kourtney’s favourite book.
Morning
Sean is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Sean is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Sean identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Sean is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Sean is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Sean picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Sean and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Sean enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Sean is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Sean’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Emma is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Emma and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Emma is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Emma sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Emma takes part in the centre’s sports program. Emma loves sports. Sports helps Emma improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Emma is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Emma and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

⭐️ Christmas Appreciation & Recommendation for Bambinos ⭐️ I just want to express my sincere gratitude to Bambinos this Christmas. I’ve had two children go through Bambinos—Kassandra first, and now Alexia, who graduated today—and I can honestly say the experience has been nothing but positive from start to finish. Both of my girls were incredibly well-prepared for school at Ramsgate thanks to the foundation Bambinos gave them. Their socialisation, confidence, and ability to interact in all settings—family, playground, relatives, and even new environments—has been a direct reflection of the wonderful care and guidance they received. There are a few teachers and carers who truly stood out to me and made a lasting impact on my children’s lives: Miss Shireen, Miss Angel, Miss Erica, Miss Kay, and Miss Carol. These are the names that immediately come to mind when I think of the people who went above and beyond, showing genuine effort, care, and heart with both of my girls. Their influence will stay with my daughters for years to come. Overall, the program at Bambinos has been extremely successful for my family. Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional, and I’m more than happy to recommend Bambinos to anyone looking for a supportive, caring, and truly dedicated early education centre. Thank you, Bambinos, for everything you’ve done for my children and for giving them such a strong start in life. Merry Christmas. 🎄✨ ⸻
Hello Andrew, We’re incredibly grateful for your 5-star rating! Your feedback motivates us to continue providing the best environment for all our children. Best regards, The Bambino's Kindergarten Team
