Flying Start at Cornwall College is a very friendly nursery they are very kind and have a lot of time for the children and their parents... they are always very talkative and include the parents in what their child has done that day and give good feed back at the end of each session. Keep up the good
work!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little one has been going since 9 months of age and will continue to do so until school age.
The Nursery environment is warm and welcoming, the rooms for each age group are excellent size, plus the hall and the outdoor space is great.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and obviously enjoy
their jobs. The structured learning is fantastic and the social interaction along with the time spent with the little ones learning is invaluable.
The online learning journey is a fantastic tool and is interactive, allowing parents to comment and add their own bits too.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.
Well done team

Fantastic nursery, lovely outside play area and large indoor hall also. Friendly staff who clearly adore the children they care for. Lots of lovely games and activities through the day and nice healthy meals and snacks. Good feedback is given at pick up time.

Flying Start has been excellent so far and I think it’s brilliant how staff keep you informed of your child’s progress throughout the day which gives parents peace of mind. Staff are very friendly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 2-year-old son has been extremely happy at Flying Start at Cornwall College, Camborne. The staff are so warm and caring towards him and have been friendly and professional with us at all times, always taking time at the end of the day to go over my son's day and always happy to answer any questions
or give more detail. The range of activities is brilliant with lots of outdoor play in the fantastic outdoor area, which is a great size with lots of equipment and environments to keep the kids busy. There's plenty of run around space indoors too - great when the weather is really awful. He always comes home well worn out! My son is coming on leaps and bounds in confidence, language, social skills and Independence. He talks about what he has done at nursery and is clearly enjoying it and forming lovely bonds with the team. All in all, we couldn't be happier - an absolutely brilliant nursery. Thank you, Flying Start!

This nursery is very good, my daughter settled in well with the help of the supportive staff. I am kept informed of her daily wellbeing and think she is well cared for. The nursery manager is very good and sorts any issues without stress. I have recommended the nursery to friends.

Really happy with our nursery. My daughter loves going there and is always talking about the staff which is such a massive indicator that she is happy and enjoys it, which to us is the most important thing. The staff are really helpful and caring and have on a number of occasions been able to take my
daughter for extra days when my schedule has changed late minute. The only thing I would like is for it to open 15 minutes earlier in the mornings so I could drop off and be gone by 8 am.

We love this nursery!


My son is very excited to go each morning and is greeted by very positive staff - sometimes the room seems really busy as he goes in but the doors to the garden are often open and he is immediately asked to get involved and shown what is available for him. He loves to do wake

up shake up and then go outside.


I get good feedback at the end of the day, he was in the baby room first which was lovely. The staff were exceptional. As he moved through his keyworker did lots of transition work and then helped us a lot with his behaviour as well as the change which did affect him. They also gave us some strategies and resources to use at home. There's always so much going on, cooking club, gym club, he even tried yoga!


Overall I think this nursery is great, it is really big with big spaces and a big garden which is great for my little boy and it is busy so he gets time to interact with lots of different children and staff but is supported by his keyworker in this.

Have found the nursery and its staff fantastic. While I can only speak for our child, we have found that he has come along in leaps and bounds with all aspects of his development. A very close bond has been developed with his key workers and he actively looks forward to his time with them at the nursery.
I cannot think of anything the staff could do to improve what seems to be a very well run establishment.

Flying Start has been awesome with my daughter from day one. The staff are friendly and polite and all seem to have a passion for children. My daughter has had some hearing problems and the Pre-school key workers have all worked with me and my daughter to make things easier for her. My daughter has
been at the nursery since just before her second birthday and she has loved every minute in each room. Pre-school is definitely her favourite room though. The staff all do a fab job and I would highly recommend the nursery as a whole.

Our son has been attending this nursery and preschool since he was a year old. The standard of care and the facilities have always been fantastic. The staff are friendly and my son looks forward to his time there. There is lots of space indoors and outside and he really enjoys the food.

My son has attended this site weekly since he was 7months old, he is now nearly 2yrs. He gets excited about coming here in the mornings. The staff are approachable, friendly and genuine. The setting is clean, meals varied. Lots of variation in activities, I love finding out about all the fun he has
had when I pick him up. And the use of eylog to me has been exceptional. Love the whole team I'm in contact with - great bunch. Seriously wouldn't want him anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.975 for Flying Start @ Cornwall College - Camborne is calculated as follows: ( (314 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.975
  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 @ Cornwall College - Camborne is based on 27 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
