Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very adaptable and friendly approach to childcare. Will work around my little ones to ensure they are eating, playing and developing as they should. The toys aren't straight out of the shop, I can do that myself. Instead there are structured thought out toys and activities that my daughters have clearly
enjoyed and learnt from. The carers clearly know their children and we've never had an issue of negligence or carelessness with food or nappies.

The care my child receives at Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell is fantastic. The staff are very attentive and know my child well and look after their development. There is always someone available to talk through any concerns and they provide great feedback about the day. Bambinos Childcare Centre
Woolwell feels like an extension of family life and I can trust that my child is having a wonderful time and being well cared for whilst learning all the time.

My little boy has been attending Bambinos nursery for over a year now and after a bad experience at a previous establishment, we were unsure whether to send him. I’m so glad we did. Since being with Bambinos he has come on in leaps and bounds with his speech, learning, communication and relationships.
I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you to all the staff at Woolwell, you do a fantastic job.

Couldn't recommend Bambinos enough. They have been fantastic with my son who has been coming to this nursery since he was 11 months old and is now nearly 3 years old. They have always been so helpful with changing of days etc as a working Mum that can make such a difference when you are trying to juggle
everything. My Daughter will also be attending in March.

I highly recommend Bambinos Woolwell, my son has found nursery difficult in the past and his behaviour can be challenging but with Bambinos help and continued support he is showing amazing improvements and continues to develop every day. The nursery has shown great patience, care, and kindness. Whilst
helping my son they have also helped me with communicating ideas, support, and ways of working together. He loves all the staff and children at nursery and asks every day to go! Amazing place.

Our son loves Bambinos Woolwell and learns a lot all of the time. After a negative experience elsewhere facing weekly problems, we were worried about how he would get on, but we haven’t had a single issue in 8 months. The staff are always really friendly and we feel completely at ease with him there.
He clearly has a lot of fun and so do the other children from what we have seen. They always seem to get up to fun activities and we love hearing about his day. We’re so happy we sent him here and will be sending his brother next year!

I cannot recommend Bambinos Childcare Centre Woolwell enough!
The staff are amazing and they have always gone above and beyond to accommodate my children’s needs.
My eldest son is autistic and we wouldn’t have had a diagnosis if it wasn’t for Bambinos staff and their knowledge.
They made a quiet,
sensory room for him which he loved, flash cards, a 1-1 and the staff even went to his school with him to make the transition as calm and smooth as possible for when he started school.
They really went beyond what we could have ever imagined from a nursery!
My youngest son now attends and is reaching all of his goals. He is so happy there. He loves all of the staff and his friends.
An excellent nursery where nothing is too much trouble.

My twins started here in October 2018 and since then they have blossomed. They could barely say two words together but in the space of 6 months, they are talking in sentences and have really thrived with their development.


This is all thanks to Bambinos Woolwell. The manager and her team are absolutely

incredible and my children adore them. I’m very grateful for them and my children are very happy here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery, they help the children develop key skills for when they start mainstream school. Also if they feel a child needs extra help they will look at getting assessments done and putting the help in place. The staff are also there to help and support the family if they have any problems or
concerns. They have helped my granddaughter so much over the past 18 months with all of her developmental problems, supporting my son and helping him to develop ways to help his daughter.

Easter stay and play put on by the staff was a really enjoyable afternoon.
There was a lot of thought put into the Easter egg hunt and the other activities. The children got to bring home a pot of seeds in that they planted as part of the stay and play.
The staff interacted with the children well
and we were made to feel very welcome.

Review from Tracy W (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms are well lit and interactive for the children of the age group per room.
My daughter loves to be outside and knowing that this is part of the nursery's daily planning supports her and encourages her, not only in development but to enjoy her days with
them.
The support I have received over a 10 month period in regards to my husband being deployed was also appreciated in regards photos being emailed to him to ensure he was not missing out on all of her days.
There is not a staff member at the nursery to whom my daughter will not go to and I find this comforting in regards to moving rooms at certain ages/points of development.
I am happy with how they work with my daughter in regards to challenging development and working with us as parents
The fact that my daughter asks to see some staff members on her days off nursery speaks volumes.

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.
