Absolutely love this nursery and preschool, my son went straight to the preschool room with no problems at the age of 2 years and 11 months, my 1-year-old went to the baby room and is very clingy and the staff are amazing at getting him settled in the mornings, all staff are polite, friendly, professional
and very hardworking. Communication is amazing, update phone calls when needed, children's reviews when needed, the app is always updated and my 3-year-old loves going 3 days a week. Both my children love the staff there and always talk about them.

An outstanding nursery which is full of kind and caring staff members. My little boy has attended this setting for the past two years. He started in the baby room, then 2-3s and now the preschool room. The nursery team are exceptional and offers amazing learning experiences for the children. The management
team are efficient and organised and also very caring and understanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, enriching and stimulating place for their child. 10/10 we really couldn’t ask for more.

Everyone at Bambinos Woolwell is amazing, from the management to every single one of the staff. They always go above and beyond to look after my son who attends the nursery and my daughter who attends the after school club. Everyone is extremely nice and supportive and both my kids love attending Bambinos.
The management is always extremely helpful and supportive, 10 out of 10, highly recommended

Bambinos has been amazing for our child's development. She is so happy and confident. Her language, numeracy and understanding is excellent for her age, as the staff at Bambinos sing songs, read books, do sensory play and they've introduced her to new foods, which she loves. She always comes home talking
about her day and comes home so happy. The staff have always welcomed us and always give professional handovers about her day at Bambinos. We always feel safe leaving our daughter at Bambinos and she is always so excited to go to nursery and see all her peers and the staff.

Outstanding nursery. Staff are all friendly, personable and attentive, great to have relationships with them and not just be another parent. My son has a wonderful day each time he attends nursery in the preschool room. Amazing outside space with loads of opportunity for free play, not full of plastic
toys. The excellent area inside also. Can’t be faulted, top-class nursery would highly recommend it.

I love Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell. We moved locally back in June 2022 and my daughter started at Bambinos in September 2022. All the staff were welcoming with arms wide open. They're all friendly and really good at making you feel comfortable and that your child's in a safe place. My daughter
loves it there and gets on great with all the staff in her room. My daughters had to overcome some issues and the nursery staff have helped and supported me through this. Their food sounds amazing with a great variety of a balanced diet (all homemade) and there's so much to do for the children there. My daughter always comes home happy and talks about all the things that she's done throughout the day which is lovely to hear about. I love that they've brought the app into play now so even when I'm at home wondering how my little one's weeks going/gone I can just go on it and have a look. It gets updated regularly with plenty of information to read. Would 100% recommend it!

Where do I start? Our children started at Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell fairly recently. Since then, they have both flourished. Their vocabulary has improved. They are both becoming more confident and making lots of friends. The staff are attentive and friendly. They go above and beyond to engage
with the children and make their experience as positive as possible. The children love the environment in particular the garden. They also love the variety of activities and I’m happy to see how well they have settled in.

Such a lovely and nurturing place for little ones. So happy with the after school provisions. The staff are all friendly and kind with an adaptable and flexible approach to booking. They provide an invaluable service through pandemics, illness, weather warnings, school closures and always happy to help
where they can. Communication is great and we are always kept up to date with everything happening and expected. Cannot give enough stars - love the place as does the little one.

A pleasure to work with the team, who are all helpful and caring even when very busy. I have always been confident in their care of my child from the very beginning, everyone has listened to us been accommodating and committed to supporting the children to develop at their own pace. I love taking my
child to this nursery, it's the best choice we could have made.

Bambinos Woolwell is a fantastic nursery. Both children have attended one now at school thriving. My 3-year-old will leave in September and it makes me so sad! They are incredible at listening to any concerns and dealing with them. My son has food allergies and they cater so well for him, he never goes
without! My 5-year-old joins for after school club each week and he absolutely loves it. I couldn’t recommend them enough, the girls are lovely and so friendly too.

Every staff member at this nursery is very welcoming and always happy at collection times. They have helped our son progress very well. I really like the way our son gets to explore the garden a lot and he always comes home saying members of staff names. The staff deserve medals for how great they truly
are.

My son has been attending Bambinos Woolwell for a while now and has come on leaps and bounds. Especially in his social and emotional development, his speech has improved massively. He thoroughly enjoys Bambinos and all the staff and talks about his day as soon as he gets home. My daughter has recently
started Bambinos and I know she is well looked after, she has a communication delay which is currently being investigated and I feel she is fully supported at the nursery. I’m updated daily on what she has done, how she has responded etc which is very comforting when it comes to having a child who can’t communicate themselves. I can’t thank all the staff enough for what they do with my children!

From our initial visit to the present day, the care, friendliness, attentiveness, professionalism and standards we have received have been outstanding.
We were very nervous as to leaving our baby, but the manager and the team have been amazing. They are so reassuring and supportive that we have not
looked back once.
The biggest testament to their standards is the fact our child is so very happy, as are we. We would recommend Bambinos Woolwell to all our families and friends in a heartbeat. We cannot fault them in any way.

Bambinos have helped my son a lot with social skills and speech and made me able to continue to work in the care sector while coronavirus was around. My son loves all the staff and they do all they can to help him and us as parents. I and my husband have very weird hour jobs and they always try their
best to help!

I can’t express enough how lovely the Woolwell Bambinos is!
My son has been attending since he was 11 months and is now 3, he is always naming the staff team and role-playing nursery at home, he often draws pictures wanting to gift them to the team!
He is always excited to see who will come to the
door in the mornings and keen to get in and begin the play!
I have recommended Bambinos Woolwell to a number of friends, whose children now attend and they all love it too!
So glad to have a wonderful safe space for my boy whilst I work and close to home too!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.686)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.686) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.754 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.754
  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 4.932 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell is based on 11 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 59 number of registered child places is 11.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.932
  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.
