Everyone in there is caring and loving, taking care of kids in a very professional and pleasant manner. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Learning environments are great and my kid loves going to the nursery every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn’t recommend Bambinos enough. I feel completely confident in the level of care and attention my son receives on nursery days. The staff are just magnificent and always go above and beyond to make sure both myself and my son are happy. They always listen and never make me feel like an inconvenience.
My son’s development has come on leaps and bounds since attending and whenever I pick him up, he’s always stuck into an activity and having a blast. Thank you, especially to four members of staff, in particular for being so wonderful.

Amazing nursery, I have 5 children and my youngest one is the only one attending Bambino’s, it’s been the best nursery I ever encounter. The staff are efficient and very cooperative. They are very understanding and caring. My daughter has been achieving all the milestones and above, the nursery provides
all the activities and support to allow the children to achieve their goals. They work alongside the parents to make sure they can have the same routines at home and in the nursery.
I couldn’t express enough appreciation towards the staff and the managers they go above all means to accommodate parent's and children's needs.

Our little one started in September and they have been so supportive with so many issues from childcare funding to his issues with food, everyone is so kind and helpful to the child and parents, always willing to help and follow things up when needed. Everyone says it but it’s so homely, cosy and friendly.
He loves his friends and the songs they sing together. Very happy experience so far here and am so glad we found it.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Most of the staff are approachable. Not excellent but satisfying care. Has lots of activities and a garden to play in. My child enjoys going there. Managers are very approachable. One of the main issues I noticed is, she goes with her toys and hair clips, and hair ties and comes back with nothing but
they won’t be aware of that.

Amazing nursery with great staff and a varied learning schedule. The manager is amazing with the children and my son absolutely loves her. From growing cress to arts and crafts my sons come on leaps and bounds with making relationships with his peers and his speech has improved immensely.

Nursery have been incredibly useful in helping me with my daughter who I have had some troubles with recently, the managers have gone above and beyond to ensure that we as parents have the right tools to support us all. Communication from the actual nursery could be a little better as some things are
left unsaid for example were unsure what our daughter is or has learnt or learning, but overall very happy as she seems to be as well

My daughter always loves nursery and comes home talking about all kinds of activities that she's been up to. Her speech and confidence have developed really well and I find the progress reports really helpful to think about things to help her keep developing at home. The staff are always friendly and
helpful and respond quickly to any queries.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves going to nursery, the nursery was very good with her on her first day when she didn’t want to leave me. She has made lots of friends and she talks about them at home. I really appreciate that we get to know what she has eaten during the day and how long she has slept and how welcoming
it is when I pick her up and drop her off. I love that when she comes home she has artwork she’s done or pictures of her doing stuff. I know it is a very welcoming nursery as she just grabs her bag and runs into nursery now, her confidence has grown so much there and I know it is a safe place for my little girl to go. Thank you Bambinos Childcare Centre Plymouth for everything you do for her!

Bambino’s has been great with my little boy. He’s been attending now for just under a year, and he’s come along leaps and bounds. The nurturing nature of all the staff members makes for a wonderfully home-from-home environment whilst also maintaining their educational setting. Any issues I have had
(which may I add are unavoidable things) have been dealt with promptly and professionally.
I’m looking forward to a few more years of making memories with Bambinos.

I would really recommend Bambinos Childcare Centre. We fell in love with the nursery as soon as we viewed it. We had a really warm and friendly feel from the environment which made us choose Bambinos. My son has been going over a year now and the staff have really contributed to the homely atmosphere.
I really trust them and my son has the best time there. He is always excited to go in. I really love that the key workers really know him and his personality even though he only goes once a week. Management are great and always quick to answer any questions and queries.

Our son has been attending Bambinos Childcare Centre for nearly two years and he's always been very happy here. He obviously feels safe and confident and he's had the opportunity to make lots of friends. It always amazes me how much he learns at nursery, especially socially which is very important given
he's a lockdown baby.

My son has been attending Bambino's Nursery now for around about 5 months now, after his previous Nursery closed quite suddenly. I have seen a significant difference in my son since starting here. He has made some amazing friends, he always looks forward to attending his sessions and has lots to tell
me when he comes home. The staff at Bambino's have been amazing and I can really see the difference they have made in helping him to learn and grow!

The staff at Bambino's are caring, kind and very knowledgeable about early years learning. They provide excellent care for my son. The environment they provide is warm and a home from home. My son always seems to spend the day making progress and enjoying lots of activities and the food he is eating
seems delicious. We could not feel happier with the service provided.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Bambinos Childcare Houndiscombe Road 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.901 for Bambinos Childcare Houndiscombe Road is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.901
  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 4.924 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bambinos Childcare Houndiscombe Road is based on 17 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.924
  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.
