Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wish I had found Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock sooner. The change in my child since attending has been astronomical. He is confident, bubbly and always excited to go to nursery. The staff are outstanding and always greet us all with smiles and warmth. I feel so happy to leave him, confidently
knowing he is being well cared for and you cannot ask for more. They always have time for us as parents and are very respectful. They wash and dry clothes that have been heavily muddied/soiled and it astounds me every time. The food is my envy, I want to stay for the meals. He is never hungry and also, importantly, well watered. They are a truly wonderful nursery with staff that deserve complete acknowledgement of their hard work. Thank you.

A lovely nursery with a very friendly, helpful and caring team. I feel confident that my daughter has all the attention and support she needs to develop and love seeing the bits of craft she has produced whilst at nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandsons have been attending the nursery (mostly full-time) for the last 3 years (in babies, toddlers and pre-school) and have been very happy there and have formed good relationships with the staff. Staff are welcoming and caring, happy to chat to parents/grandparents/carers and know the children
well. The children love all the activities and skip in happily every day. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery, which has a very "home from home" atmosphere while remaining professional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of my 3 children have attended Bambinos in Tavistock and loved it. My youngest son started in September 2018 aged 2 and we couldn’t wish for a better childcare choice. Bambinos offers a very personal approach, staff members are friendly and enthusiastic, communication with parents and carers is
excellent. My son has made a great progress in every area, but most importantly he’s happy to go to nursery every morning. Happy children, happy parents, thoroughly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.921 for Bambinos Childcare Centre Tavistock is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.921
  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 Tavistock is based on 20 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 20 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.

Marni

Marni Tanfield

Job Title: Manager

Hi, I’m Marni. I began my career in early years over 10 years ago as an apprentice, also working as a 1:1 support for children with Autism. After qualifying, I progressed to Team Leader in an under-twos room before moving into a Nursery Manager role.


Following our family move to Devon, I continued my journey as a Team Leader in a 2–to 3-year room and am now proud to be Nursery Manager here in Tavistock.


I believe every child is unique, and that the early years are a vital time for developing the skills that support them throughout life. Creating a home-from-home environment where children feel safe, excited and confident to explore is at the heart of everything I do.


Outside of nursery life, I’m a mum to two young boys. As a family, we enjoy long walks with our dog, especially trips to the beach, and I love relaxing with a good book when I can.


The most rewarding part of my role is supporting both families and my team, whether that’s offering reassurance, sharing experience or celebrating achievements along the way.


I would love to welcome you to our nursery in Tavistock and show you around, so you can experience our warm and nurturing environment for yourself.
