Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has gone over and beyond to help my baby settle, the care and love the staff show is second to none. My baby is learning so many new things and gaining outstanding social skills. The nursery provide a calm environment and encourage children to develop at their own pace. The staff there
have worked with me to help my son feel comfortable in the transition, which in turn has enabled me to feel safe that he is in good arms. It is clearly evident that the staff care about the children and nurture them so much. I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery anymore.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our boys have been going to Bambinos since they were 6 months old. I can't recommend them enough. They certainly deserve their Ofsted 'Outstanding' review. Not only do they love going to nursery, but the boys are also clearly much more advanced than many children I know of the same age who do not attend
a similar setting. The fun learning curriculum has really developed their speech and development. The staff are brilliant and the children talk about the girls when they come home to tell us about their day. We are due to move from the area soon and will struggle to find somewhere that meets the standards of this childcare provider. I've been told they're more expensive than some other providers but for me, the quality of care and peace of mind is worth it.

My son has attended Bambinos Plymstock for over 3 years and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. The staff are friendly and caring and the environment and resources are enriching and interesting. He has enjoyed many varied activities whilst there and plenty of outdoor play in the lovely garden area.
Really recommend this nursery.

We absolutely love Bambinos, Plymstock. The staff are so friendly and know our little boy so well even though he is only very part-time. They have coped superbly during the current COVID time. They encourage play and development and keep in contact. The outside space is nice and made good use of. We
really like the paper diary and the booklets about our little boy showing his progress. Really pleased we picked Bambinos.

My son has been with Bambinos Plymstock for almost 2 years. Prior to this, he was with a childminder and another nursery. He cannot wait to go to nursery each day and on a Friday is disappointed when it's not his day to go in! All of the staff are lovely and my son bonded very well with a lot of the
staff very quickly. Bambinos has an amazing garden for kids to get dirty and explore in nature which is something he loves. I honestly cannot fault them. If you ever need to call to query something the managers are more than happy to help sort anything out for you. When I have a second child, despite Bambinos being on the other side of Plymouth to me, I will be using them again!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy absolutely loves this nursery, it’s welcoming it’s cosy, the layout works for our son. He absolutely loves the staff, has a soft spot for one or two. When’s he’s not there, he wants to be there! Communication is amazing any worries or anything we need, they're always there to talk to,
I had to make some changes with the days my little boy was there, they were great. His speech has come on so much, his learning, his singing, he loves the activities in the garden! He's very fussy around food at home but when he’s there he gives it a good go, most of the time he eats everything, loves his pudding! I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I don’t want him to ever leave. The best decision I’ve made sending him here.

All staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Daughter loves it there and I have full confidence she is happy and safe while there. I recommend Bambinos in Plymstock every chance I get as I know how hard it is as a parent to hand over your child, but want to reassure parents and carers that I can't
fault anyone or anything there.

My daughter has loved her time at Bambinos Plymstock. The nursery is clean and engaging and the staff friendly and informing of the days' events. For me, the added benefit of Bambinos understanding my working needs and allowing additional sessions when required, sometimes without much notice, has proved
invaluable. I would highly recommend.

My son loves his nursery in his words "I like the ladies and all the toys". The nursery environment feels safe and nurturing. There's always lots going on to engage the children. We particularly appreciate the work that the staff do, and have found that they were all very good showing incredible caring
and patience.

Very happy with overall standards. Staff are very kind and caring. The building is very dated and cleanliness could do with improvement. Outside facilities are great. Management are very approachable and hands on. We love the lady from the baby unit, she is a credit to your nursey.

I always feel relaxed and happy when dropping off my grandchild. All staff are very friendly and always on hand to help with anything. The children all seem at ease and play well together. A lot of activities are put out for the children each day, always having something to do. The children bond well
with the staff. There is a wide range of food to cater for all children.

My youngest son has had a brilliant time at Bambinos. From the baby room into 2-3's then into preschool the carers have taken the time to establish a trusting bond with him. We couldn't be happier with Bambinos.

My experience with Bambinos Plymstock dates back to 2013. As a first-time mum, I was really nervous about childcare, however, I was soon put at ease when I viewed here. My daughter loved her time there and flourished in their care until she started school. My youngest still attends and is in the preschool
room. Overall I cannot rate this nursery high enough and would recommend them.

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.
