Welcome to Bumbles Day Care!
Since 1993, Bumbles has been serving the local communities of South and East Belfast with quality childcare in a welcoming and homely environment. Bumbles professional service and Early Years childcare as a whole, is the backbone of society ensuring parents and guardians can continue to pursue their own individual careers and goals whilst knowing their families are being supported through childcare settings such as ours.
Knockbreda Road has been home to Bumbles first Nursery, opened by Patricia Maxwell over 30 years ago. As demand increased for spaces, we worked in conjunction with Rosetta Primary School directly opposite our main building, and adapted 3 of their unused classrooms to allow our Primary School wraparound children to move across the road into a new space and setting for play.
In 2018, Bumbles grew again with an additional setting further down the Ormeau Road called Bumbles by the Park. A vast Church Hall with space across 2 floors, we were able to offer collections from local schools and after-school care for Primary aged children. Bumbles by the Park is situated right beside Ormeau Park, hence the name.
Subsequently, Bumbles acquired a small cottage style facility in Ormeau Park 4 years later, and this was then named Bumbles in the Park. Providing Nursery Wraparound places for children at local Nursery schools, this setting faces Bumbles by the Park and is located right at the gates to Ormeau Park on Park Road.
Finally, in May 2022, due to continuing high demand for baby places and also trying to respond to the needs of our local community, we opened our second full day nursery in the Castlereagh Hills, aptly named, Bumbles on the Hill.
We have an excellent Team at Bumbles who provide stimulating and exciting invitations to play everyday through child led plans. Great spaces mean that our children have lots of room, both inside and out to have maximum fun!
