Playgroup - Nottingham Children Campus vs Bambini Republic (TST)

Any mummies attended/ are attending both playgroups?
I am currently attending NCC, and have read mostly positive feedbacks about Bambini.  So I am wondering whether I should try the latter after we complete the lessons with NCC.

My boy is turning 15 mths old next week and we are staying at Hung Hom, so both Bambino TST and NCC are relatively close to us.

Hi there! Oh really?  I am not certain about that.  In fact, I have paid for one trial lesson many months ago but didn't attend it in the end, coz my boy was down with sickness and we decided to defer his playgroup plan until he can walk.  So I am thinking whether I should give it a try after NCC.  Apparently there are too many choices around.

Are u happy with the current teacher?  
Honestly I cannot judge becoz this is my first playgroup, and I don't have high expectations.
I think by trying other playgroup will help me judge better.

We just went for the trial class at Bambini TST.  I like the clean and new environment, with many new toys.  Other than that, I think NCC is better, in terms of contents and teacher experience.  The teacher I met at Bambini is from UK.  He is very young and fun and of coz has excellent command of English, but I personally think his experience with very young toddlers is not as good as the teacher at NCC.  The contents of the 2 hrs at NCC is also more intense and diversifying.  Honestly Bambini is not as bad as some people claimed in the forums, but personally I prefer NCC.  Maybe it is not fair to compare coz we only went for one trial class.  And there is a very nice gesture from Bambini, they sent me an evaluation report for the trial class.  Even though the contents of my boy's progress are stating the obvious (haaa!), but I still appreciate it.  However there are too many choices for playgroup out there, so I don't think I will sign any package with Bambini at this moment.
