Bum Bum

Our model

We believe that every child is born naturally curious, intelligent and the protagonist of their own development.

We draw inspiration from the Reggio Emilia Approach to celebrate the ‘hundred languages’ through which children have the right to learn and express themselves, transforming natural curiosity into energy for learning. Here, learning is built together, combining emotions and knowledge in a journey of daily discovery.

Bilingualism

At Becoming schools, bilingualism is a core value, even before it is an educational choice. At Bum Bum nurseries, Italian and English are part of everyday life, from daily routines to activities.

Children are exposed to the two languages in a natural way, and this helps them to develop an open and flexible mind.

Atelier

The Atelier is one of the iconic educational environment associated with the ‘100 languages’ approach to education.

It represents the creative heart of the school, a space for exploration where ideas take shape through creativity. In this environment, the children explore graphic design, modelling, light and digital media using tools that stimulate the imagination.

Rather than a specific space, it is an approach that permeates the whole school to nurture creativity and expand the possibilities for learning.

Outdoor Education

At Bum Bum nurseries, as in all Becoming Education schools, Outdoor Education is a way of experiencing school.

Nature becomes an extension of the classroom: a living space in which to develop independence, curiosity and awareness.

Through Urban Outdoor, we transform the neighbourhood, parks and markets into everyday opportunities for discovery and civic engagement.

Experiencing nature in every season, whether in the indoor gardens or outdoors, sharpens children’s scientific curiosity and supports their physical and mental wellbeing. That is why we choose to encourage children to engage with the outdoor environment every day.

Team and educator

A dedicated team of passionate professionals works every day to create environments for learning and care, placing the relationship at the heart of everything we do. As experts in education and child development, our educators are knowledgeable about psychomotor development and monitor the children’s developmental stages using the Brazelton approach.

Our highly experienced educationalist works closely with the teaching staff and families at all times, ensuring ongoing supervision. She assesses the needs of each child, coordinates the planning process and strengthens the bond of trust between the school and families.

Emotional and Social Skills

We place nurturing relationships at the heart of all learning. We support the children in recognising what they are feeling, in putting names to their emotions, and in resolving moments of conflict through conversation. We help them to understand others, to ask questions, to be patient, and to work together.

Every day, we create an environment where listening, connection and care come together, respecting each person’s pace and embracing everyone’s uniqueness.

Nutrition education

Lunchtime is a valuable educational experience, centred on conviviality, enjoyment and food culture. We offer seasonal and balanced menus, developed in collaboration with expert nutritionists and approved by the ATS to ensure high standards of quality and food safety.

Through mealtimes, children develop independence by learning to use cutlery and set the table, whilst discovering the value of seasonal produce and reducing food waste.

Teacher training

The quality of a school depends on the quality of its teachers. We believe that training teachers means ensuring, every day, that children receive a high-quality educational experience.

This is why, in Becoming Education schools, training is not a one-off event but an ongoing process that fosters competence, awareness and educational care.

The Becoming Academy is the exclusive centre dedicated to the training of all teaching staff within the Becoming Education group.
