My daughter has a lot of fun at nursery and always goes in happy and comes out happy. She has already made friends and has already established a good relationship with the staff in her bubble. I love the online journal as it allows great access to my daughters learning at home as well as at the nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My child had a negative experience in her last nursery before we moved, and since coming here, she loves nursery and can't wait to get in! The staff there are amazing, and judging by my child's reaction, she thinks so too. If you want your child to go to an outstanding
nursery where they really are looked after and have a fantastic time - choose this one!

I can not praise the staff enough at Flying Start in Redruth; they are amazing with my son, always happy and helpful! The manager is amazing, and she has a very good team of staff beside her. My son has really come a long way with the nursery.
I couldn’t thank them enjoy.

I have had my granddaughter full time since she was 11-months-old, she is now 3 1/2. She has been attending Flying Start Redruth since she came to live with me. She has thrived since she has been going and looks forward to it every day. The staff have been amazing with her and also a great support to
myself! I can’t speak highly enough of them, and would definitely recommend anyone to send their child there. The activities are great, beach visits, outdoor activities and fun learning. After the virus lockdown, she was off for a long time and really missed it, when I had the opportunity to send her back, I decided to send her. I was a little worried but was reassured that she would be fine. I am so glad that she went back, she loved it and was so happy to have normality back. The staff have been fantastic and have a great system, even in this difficult time. I have no problem is saying that I would highly recommend anyone to send their child there. I can't thank them enough.

My son has had an amazing time at Flying Start over the past 18 months, they’ve worked with me on his behaviour and issues we have at home with no judgement.
He always comes home and has learnt something new, he loves the staff and the other children that attend.
They have a lovely indoor and outdoor
learning area and are constantly doing something productive in a way my son will enjoy and understand with planned activities throughout the session also.
They’ve been especially good throughout the whole COVID crisis and I have never once worried about my son while he’s been attending.

My little boy has been attending this nursery since he was six months old - he's now three. He's recently returned following the COVID lockdown and the staff have been amazing. My son was very excited to return, and on any days he struggles with a drop off, the staff are always there to help comfort
and reassure him. COVID has been a confusing time for him, and they've made the new rules easy to understand for us, and for him. The staff are also there to give him a cuddle if he needs it. He always comes home excited to tell me what's he's been up to. I would highly recommend this nursery, they've always been fabulous with my son and always go above and beyond to ensure he's happy.

My daughter started a short session once a week at 5 months old and is now 16 months old and loves nursery days. She runs in excited and is highly stimulated and lovingly cared for and is really thriving with the combination of nursery, grandparents and home life. I would recommend this nursery to any
parent who is looking to give their child lots of exciting opportunities and wanting their child to develop an understanding of healthier living, where their food comes from and how ingredients make the foods we eat. My little one smells herbs, tries all foods and really enjoys having a go at mixing things altogether, constantly role play cooking and we are encouraged by the nursery to join in too. They are outside lots and even though she is a baby she goes on baby forest school and explores nature.

My daughter came here for 2 amazing years, the way she developed her reading writing was incredible. What I was most impressed by was the way the team helped her develop her social skills. They whole team there were second to none, I really couldn’t recommend a better nursery.

My son goes to Flying Start @ Redruth after school and loves it. He finds all the activities fun and I like that he gets to socialize with children outside of school. He gets on well with all the staff there. I get a detailed account of everything he has been doing when I pick him up and they always
ask how he is in the morning if he's there during the holidays. Lovely atmosphere, lovely people.

My son has attended Flying Start in Redruth since he was nine months old. He is now three and he loves going into nursery. The transition to preschool was handled amazingly. The staff are so friendly and caring. My son has a favourite key worker who he thinks is great. Any concerns are listened too.
They go above and beyond to help incorporate home struggles such as troublesome bedtimes into circle time to help the parents. I would highly recommend them.

My son has been attending Flying Start Redruth since July 2017. The manager and her staff are great and my son is super excited to attend nursery each morning. A great place to play and learn. We love that the outside space is really big and that the kids are out and about as much as possible.

Flying Start in Redruth is an amazing nursery. The staff are very friendly and approachable. They totally understand my son's needs and his personality and genuinely care about his happiness and well being.
Our son is learning and flourishing every week. His social skills grow week by week too.

The team at Flying Start Redruth are truly lovely and my daughter absolutely loves being there. Friendly, personable and extremely caring, they made the transition settling period so much easier for both me and our daughter.
When I leave her, I know she is in the best care and thoroughly enjoys her
day.
The activities are varied and my daughter has already developed new skills thanks to this interactive and engaging environment.
The home cooked food is also a massive hit with her and she seems happy to sample new foods as a result.
All in all, lovely expert staff, amazing planned activities to keep little ones engaged and top notch facilities.

Such a wonderful and friendly setting. My daughter settled in instantly. We received great feedback and my daughter's routine was followed brilliantly. She’s thrived from her time here and grown in confidence. Telling me all about the great activities she’s been doing. Especially painting. It’s been
amazing to see and put my mind at ease. Absolutely fantastic staff who are all so approachable and really got to know my daughter well. We will be so sad to leave but have such lovely memories to take with us. Thank you all so much for the outstanding care and support you’ve all shown to her. I would highly recommend.

My daughter has attended Flying Start since January 2018 and I could not be happier with how she has settled in. The team are fantastic and she adores every one of them. The activities are widely varied with so many outdoor trips to the beach/forest. Her confidence has increased and she no longer cries
when I drop her off as in her previous nursery. A truly fantastic nursery!

My daughter has a dairy intolerance, however, this has never been a problem for any of the staff at the nursery, they make her dairy free meals which gives me peace of mind. She loves going to nursery and talks about the staff at nursery at home. Since attending the nursery her speech has improved vastly
thanks to the employees at the nursery. She has built up friendships with the other children at the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for Flying Start @ Redruth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.927 for Flying Start @ Redruth is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.927
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Flying Start @ Redruth is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
