Our Story

Every family deserves a place where they feel they belong...

​That simple belief inspired The Nest Como...

​

As two mums raising our families in Lake Como, we experienced first-hand how challenging it can be to find your village. Whether you're new to the area, living far from family, or simply looking for meaningful connections, parenting can sometimes feel lonely.

 

We wanted to build a welcoming community where local and international families could meet, children could grow through meaningful experiences, and parents could find friendship, support and a sense of belonging.

​

What began as a small community of 5 families soon became something much bigger. As more parents joined us, it became clear there was a real need for a space that brought people together across cultures and languages.

​

Today, The Nest is a vibrant family hub offering activities, wellbeing, creative experiences and a community for babies, children, parents and families of all backgrounds.

​

Whether you're joining your baby's first class, enjoying a coffee while your little one plays, celebrating a birthday, or simply looking to meet other families, we're so happy you've found us.

​

Welcome to The Nest. We're so glad you're here :)
