In recent weeks we've moved house, business and everything else that comes with it. We're slowly getting there but needed to get the house in order before the little one's went back to school. We've not moved far, in fact we've moved about 2 miles up the road, but it's given us the opportunity to expand our business and give the children a bigger garden to play in! As part of the moving house process, Jessica and Zachary came with us and chose their bedrooms before we even had a say, so trying to find furniture that was fun, creative and would fit their new rooms has been an interesting journey. Deciding on the beds There's 14 months between our little bambinos and whilst they're so different in character they also like to have the 'same' but 'different' and they both wanted 'Bunk Beds'.  Whilst I love a good Bunk Bed,...

I'm conscious that over the last few days you may have seen reports in the press regarding at least 2 products that we sell here at Junior Bambinos: The Gummee Glove and the Rosa & Bo Bunny Teether - which can be found here... https://juniorbambinos.com/collections/teethers And I wanted to pop on and share my thoughts to support a brand which has been very close to my heart since my little one was born. 'Which' is an 'impartial' review website who state they 'get the facts'. They review a product, share a snippet of that review and then ask you to pay a subscription to get the detail behind the review. Whether suppliers pay Which to review their products I wouldn't know, it's not something that I've got too involved with. That said, over the last few days I'm disappointed with what I've seen.   Which have recently issued a 'report' which...

If you've followed us on Instagram, you may have seen that we purchased 2 Stamptastic Stamps last year as our little Bambinos headed off to Nursery and Pre School.The process of naming their school clothes, bags and pens by just 'stamping' their name on; not only became a fun activity with me and the kids it was the most simplest process ever! I had visions that we'd end up buying the naming labels (I had years ago!) and I'd end up sitting there stitching them in. The process was that simple I think we'd named everything within 30 minutes. The fact my little ones then stamped lots of paper with their names gave me an idea of whether Stamptastic did Stamps for business' too.And.. we were in luck! We are in the process of changing our brand over; we've had a new logo and we're just designing our new stickers...

As I sit here and reflect on 2018, my heart warms (and sometimes melts!) At the beginning of 2018, like many other retailers we faced a decision of whether to build Junior Bambinos or close it. Junior Bambinos has been at the heart of our family for the last 9 years (previously Eco Toy Store and Childrens Eco Furniture) however retail is changing and to navigate that change it takes time, commitment and a steely determination to wind your way through it. I hope by now you realise we took the decision not to close .. and we're so glad we didn't. However, we couldn't have built a business without you - so thank you for helping and supporting us during 2018 - it really has made all the difference! 2019 will see our business turn 10 years old, we're a flexible business that can adapt and change as we...
