My daughter enjoys preschool at Bambino’s and she has thrived. She has been going since 10 months old and is now in preschool. She has been supported well through each transition and continues to enjoy going.
She is proud to show me what she has drawn each day and it is lovely to hear about all the
activities that they have done. The staff are always really friendly and have built a lovely rapport with my daughter.

Bambinos go above and beyond! My daughter attended for a short while and my son still attends. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. They look after my child so well and tailor their care to his little personality. When my son was poorly, they offered daily support whilst we stayed
in the hospital and it meant a lot to us as a family. They are such a lovely team at Plymstock and the managers are amazing- it is so well run. I would absolutely recommend it to any future parents thinking about childcare settings.

We are really happy with Bambinos Plymstock - I was very nervous taking my one-year-old for the first time after spending every day with him for a year but the staff were so understanding and compassionate. Our son loves going to Bambinos now- he always comes out clean, smiling and happy. Special thanks
to the team leader in the baby room!

I have sent both of my children here and honestly, could not rate Bambinos higher. Both my children loved it here. They are such confident children and I feel all the staff at Bambino's have been a huge part in this. My children both love(d) going to nursery and have never cried, they bounce through
the door and are always met with the warmest welcome. The staff are super attentive and friendly and I always feel they have the best interest of my children. I feel super confident leaving my children here and would always recommend this nursery.

My daughter is always happy to go into the nursery (often without looking back!). The food is delicious, the staff are all friendly and welcoming and they answer the phone promptly. They spend a lot of time outside exploring in their beautiful outdoor area but also have stimulating play ideas for inside
too. My daughter is always clean, smiling and happy when I collect her. Thank you for looking after her so well!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I chose to send my daughter to Bambinos Plymstock due to its outstanding reputation and wonderful ethos. Nevertheless, I was so nervous when it came to sending my daughter in because she hadn’t been apart from me for more than an hour when she joined at 13-months-old. However, now she beams and dances
when she sees me preparing her bag and reaches out for the nursery staff at the door, followed by a wave goodbye to me! Each and every one of their staff is so positive, compassionate and generous. There is so much love and support amongst the staff and children. I love how informative the handovers are, and it’s lovely to see what different activities she has been up to each day in her learning log. My little girl has grown in confidence and character since going to Bambinos, and I know that she is in the best of hands. My family are really grateful for the care provided by the nursery. Thank you, Bambinos Plymstock.

This setting continues to be outstanding, providing the highest level of childcare and development. My children absolutely love it at Bambinos. The team are like an extended part of our family, and the trust and appreciation we have for them could not be greater. I can honestly say that all the management,
room leaders and individual childcare practitioners work so hard at providing a nurturing, safe, happy, fun and caring environment; this really is achieved every single minute of every single day! Whilst recently having a parent's evening for my children, it was amazing to read through their learning journey and to see the excitement on the key person's face when describing the milestones the children are reaching. I highly recommend Bambinos. They really are the best!

We absolutely adore all the staff and resources available for our little pudding. She has absolutely thrived since starting back in September 2021. She has a great bond with all the staff and never has issues separating from us in the morning.
I love that she comes home regularly with things she's
made and the staff always endeavour to community her day in full.
We love it here.

We are exceptionally happy with how Bambinos have been in looking after and educating our daughter. She has taken well to the heuristic corner and we have been constantly updated with her development, and she is fed well, happy and looked after. It's no surprise they have won so many awards. The staff
all care and are very welcoming and we can't thank them enough. Would recommend Bambinos to anybody in the area.

My daughter has attended the Plymstock branch since she was 6 months old, from the first day we walked through the doors we just knew this was the place for her. Since turning 2 our original opinion remains, we as parents in addition to our little one have built a wonderful bond will all workers. Every
member of staff we've encountered has been polite and friendly when telling us what our little one gets up to each day / monthly emails regarding updates.
This learning provided by the manager and her team is exceptional, consisting of naturalistic and inspirational play, developing our daughter's surroundings of her everyday environment, and a safe outdoor space to play hide and seek, jump in muddy puddles in rain suits or going on bug hunts whilst learning all about there names, colours and environments.
Our daughter's development has been phenomenal, she has developed into a bright, warm, energetic toddler with a wonderful personality. We honestly couldn't recommend Bambinos enough.

We absolutely love Bambinos, all 3 of our children have gone there. From the initial walk round we loved the ethos of the nursery. Our youngest son is still there, and is always happy to go. He is very happy when we picked him up, and tells us about the lovely things he has been up to. The staff
genuinely care for the children, and all 3 of our children have formed strong bonds with their key workers.
They have all excelled in their learning, and have been fully prepared for the transition to school. Wouldn't dream of sending them anywhere else.

What can I say! Absolutely amazing! Like every parent, I was very nervous and apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery when I went back to work. My daughter has been attending the nursery for the past eight months and she is thoroughly enjoying every minute. When my daughter sees the staff in
the morning she has the biggest smile on her face, which is such a comfort for a parent. The nursery continues to impress me time and time again, and would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone and anyone! Well done Bambinos, you are all incredible.

What can I say about this nursery, apart from it is fantastic. The staff are friendly, approachable and provide excellent care. We moved our son last year from another local nursery that could no longer fulfil our requirements. I would have said my son was happy at the other nursery, however, it wasn't
until starting at Bambinos Plymstock I realised how much happier he had become. So a massive thank you from our family. Our only regret is that he didn't start with you sooner.

I am so happy my daughter attends Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock and my daughter is thrilled too! Before she started in January, she had not interacted with any children in a long time due to lockdown and I was a bit nervous and so was she. The staff have made her very comfortable and she now loves
going to nursery and playing with the children and always speaks about the staff in such a happy way. She has learnt so much here and come out of her shell! Thank you Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock.

From the first time I visited Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymouth I loved the feel of the nursery. It’s very cosy and homely which I was looking for. My daughter has been attending the nursery for two years now and she has grown into such a polite and confident little girl which I cannot thank the nursery
enough for. The staff at the nursery are also so lovely. Even on the weekends my daughter mentions them! I’m so grateful that my little girl has been able to have the best start in life by attending Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymouth.

We cannot recommend Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock enough. Our daughter has attended the setting since she was eight months old. We had the luxury of viewing the nursery prior to Covid-19 and were comforted by the nurturing, cosy and clean environment which was much nicer than some of the other
larger settings locally. The staff are all extremely lovely. They are very calm, caring and fun. My daughter was able to form a bond with each of her key workers very quickly which I believe is helped by the smaller setting and class sizes. I believe that the staff are able to strike an ideal balance of providing reassurance, fun and development. The children are offered a wide variety of activities and the nursery is constantly rotating and updating the resources offered to the children. Themed activities provide variety and awareness of special holidays, seasons and other cultures. The children are also given a lot of opportunity for exploration and play outside in an extremely safe and well-equipped outdoor space.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.949 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.949
  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 Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymstock is based on 13 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
