Bambinos Manukau — Nurturing Early Learning in South Auckland

Bambinos Manukau is a trusted early childcare centre that provides a welcoming, family-focused space where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Proudly owned and operated by the Grgicevich family, Bambinos has been part of Auckland’s early childhood community for over 30 years, offering quality education and care grounded in family values and genuine connection.
Our Manukau centre is designed to feel like home - a place where tamariki are supported to explore the world around them with curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Each child is seen as an individual, encouraged to learn at their own pace through play-based experiences that promote social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth.
